Personally

I seek to broaden my horizons. I often learn everything that I can about something new. Wikipedia is my favorite web site. I enjoy technical writing and teaching because that is the best way to learn a subject thoroughly. I never lie.

I love that I have diverse friends and acquaintances. I view strangers as friends that I have yet to meet. I love to help others but avoid asking for help. I do not know whether God exists and I am satisfied with my ignorance on the matter. I will take either side for the sake of a good political philosophy debate.

I am fast using a Windows computer because I know a lot of shortcut keys. I play soccer with friends and bike around town. I used to play drums in a small band ♪. I also used to enjoy canoeing, building stone walls, and working on my friends' dairy farm. Now I am a workaholic. I am selective about what organizations I join. There are certain web sites that I like.

I love to travel, have been to almost every state in the USA, have been to many nations of the world, and have a friends in each place. I own only what I need. Though I shun materialism, I earn a living from it. Though I design digital video processors, I own no television set. I am also licensed ham radio operator N1QLO.

I enjoy learning new languages but I know only one fluently. I speak and write with the best English grammar of anyone that I know. Lately I am studying Mandarin Chinese. My vocabulary excludes words that would not be heard on the evening news. Secretly, though, my mind is as dirty as my language is clean. I enjoy limericks and word play but I hate puzzling over brain teasers.

For entertainment I enjoy reading classic literature, listening to novel music, and watching television show or movies. I especially like to see story lines that develop female characters. I like studying maps and I have a good sense of direction. I like sailing. I drive a stick shift and I can back up a trailer.

I am male ♂ and I was born in 1976, Gemini in the year of the dragon 龙. Nowhere feels like home to me, but work and family take me frequently to the areas around Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, London, Hsinchu, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou.

Here is what I look like. Handsome, huh? Feel free to contact me.
