randomwalker@gmail.com BioYeah right, like I'm going to tell you everything about myself here.
I'm in grad school. It's awesome. I wouldn't give it up for the world.
I used to be good at math. Like, frickin' terrific. Now that I'm old and senile, not so much.
I am talented at forgetting languages. I've forgotten 4 or 5 so far.
I live by the principle that all problems in life can be solved either by googling or by writing a shell script.
----
I have a voracious appetite for the written word; no subject is so obscure that I do not find it interesting. Of the visual medium I am a tad more discriminative.
Yeah, I sometimes write like this. It's fun. The other day I caught myself using "wherefore" in a sentence. I occasionally use "likely" as an adverb, and once nearly used the word "soever" (yes, that's a perfectly cromulent word.) I mean, where am I from, the nineteenth century?
