History
I grew up in the South Bay Area of California. Went to public school for Elementary and Jr. High school, then went to The Harker School for high school, and then graduated from Brandeis University in Boston just recently with a BA in Computer Science and a minor in Film Studies.
I love cooking and traveling and technology and movies and humor. Stories and adventures are the purpose of my life. I like being weird and different, but I'm not snotty about it.

I currently own four computers.
- Apple PowerBook G3 WallStreet Laptop
- Apple PowerBook G4 12" Titanium
