Follow messageI'm a multifaceted geek. Whatever it is, music, literature, technology, philosophy, gaming, I'm in to it. I strive to understand and do as much as I can, and I want to continue striving for as long as I live. I want to improve the world in whatever small or huge way I can, casually through humor, professionally through green engineering, and artistically through music.
