About

I like to computer.

When I computer I often:

use a Mac and make it do strange, twisted, power-usery things much to the chagrin of my Mac using friends
tear out my hair trying to do any sort of development in Autodesk Maya
create animation software and maybe even figure out a new algorithm for something interesting
write software for graphical and multi-touch analysis
make mouse gestures or multi-touch gestures do cool things
work on a fun game
have something make a fart noise
