Because I'm trying to do this blog-thing properly, I'm not going to leave this biography blank as seems right and proper.
So...the title came from a Lao Tzu quote I found through the wonder of Google.
I love good travel quotes. I'm also fond of, in no particular order, playing classical piano, rock climbing, drinking coffee, drinking coffee in other countries, learning languages, and figuring stuff out.
Contrary to popular opinion, I do not particularly like school, despite having gone for the past twenty-two years. It is just a conduit to figuring stuff out.
I work in a research lab (re: languages + figuring stuff out). My friends are convinced my robots are going to take over the world, despite the fact I have no robots. It is within the remote realm of possibility that I could be considered a little focused. Though on what, I don't think anyone could say.
