I tend to live my life in an open-source kind of way, you know lots of interaction and modification from the users. But that also comes with honesty and openness. For example, as of the writing of this in July, I am mostly interested in meeting people. That interest can be modified of course as I am ultimately looking for a connection with someone who would might want to go with me to whatever University I choose to get my PhD.

Okay, so I wanted to call myself slackademic because it has a nice rhyme. But then, I didn't want the ladies to think I am some slacker starving student. So I vanillified my usename to laidbackademic. Nope, got a pretty kick-ass job in the demographics research field. A geek dream job where I get to make maps for a living.

But I consider myself a king of the geek badasses; a principled rogue. (Consider what type of woman whom I would like to ensare with that line.) One of those creative types your mother warned you about.

About the writing part, I am developing a a blog series about techno-dating methaphor. One will be called Open-Source Relationships and Dating in the Long Tail. If any one is a writer and wants to help out with this series, let me know.   Send me a message!
