• About Me

    I’m an opinionated Grumpy Old Man. I enjoy the intellectual give and take that goes along with that, but have very little patience for stupid people (Note: there is a big difference between “stupid” and “educated”. Some of the stupidest people I’ve ever met have a PhD…). Beside arguing, I like to build things in almost any media. Right now I’m mostly building in wood, Lego, and a bunch of different electronic media. I teach in a number of different venues - from preschool all the way through graduate school. Subjects range from talmud to neuroscience to engineering.

    For fun, I like to bash people with swords (OK, so they’re made of foam. It’s still fun). Although I spend a lot of my time in a wheelchair, I manage to keep pretty active (Like bashing people with swords). I am a libertarian, and have a hard time finding anything good to say about government or politicians. OK, politicians might make good sausage, but that's about as good as it gets.

You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends…..

Posted on June 27, 2007 by sphyrnatude

And, as it turns out, sometimes you can pick your family (or at least they can pick you).
OK, I have to start out by saying that this is a hard thing to write. Emotional stuff is tough for me to put down.
What started out as a plain old kids play date grew faster than anything [...]

Who are you?

Posted on June 27, 2007 by sphyrnatude

How do you define yourself? If you had to come up with a quick short answer to describe who you are, what would it be?
