About Me

I'm a computer scientist, but as one of my friends once observed: "I think you'll make your money in some other field, like fashion!" Actually, I like style, not fashion. The difference is that I just care about what looks good -- I don't care about who designed it or what label is on it. Okay, I admit, I have some brand preferences, but only because they consistently turn out good looking (and fitting!) clothes. I don't care what's "in fashion" this year - I think the best looks are more timeless, or at least something that's stylish for years at a time.

The days are long gone when a hat was a part of a gentleman's everyday existence. Nevertheless, if a gentleman feels comfortable in a hat, be it the familiar fedora to protect him from the chill of winter or a snappy boater to shield him from the heat of the sun, he wear it -- recognizing all the while that he is likely to be in the minority these days. He may come off either as an oddity or as the object of universal admiration -- the key is the gentleman's own self-confidence and personal style.
-A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up by John Bridges and Bryan Curtis

Now dressing as a gentleman is all fine and well, but really, it's kind of boring. Now maybe this is all rooted in playing with my Mom's Barbie dolls as a kid, but didn't Barbie have such better outfits than Ken? One of the reasons Kaboodle appeals to me is I like to shop -- less for myself than for women's clothes (although I do happen to know that I'm a size 8). Unfortunately, my SO doesn't care very much for stylish clothes, so I'm left to shopping and talking about clothes with other women.

My website which rarely gets updated -- lately just dissertation stuff.
Picasa Photo Albums the interface (particularly for browsing) isn't as nice as Flickr, but I like the gmail integration.

On a mission to break people out of their little boxes (check out my Blogazine for details). Thanks to misee for leaving me 2/3rds of the work.

Oh my gosh!!! *turning red* I just reread your shout and it finally dawned on me what you were saying. I didn't get it at first this morning and was scratching my head. It's amazing what coffee can do. :) I'm glad I'm home today and not in the office. Sigh. :)

TeeHee. I'm not sure how we got on the subject, but we did. :) I'm going to be giggling all night now. Heck, thongs don't take up much room, everyone should carry an extra, even you. ;)
