Personal Pursuits
  • Finding Deals - I enjoy finding the best prices for items and sometimes selling them for profit.  I specialize in electronic and computer items.
  • Repairing Electronics (Computers, Laptops, iPods, etc) - I also build, upgrade and repair a variety of electronic items.  Common procedures include repairing laptops, recovering hard drive data, upgrading memory, and fixing broken MP3 players. I also have significant experience fixing software problems in Windows.

  • Technology Advice - I enjoy keeping up with the latest tech devices for everything, as well as gaming and audio/video equipment.  I often advise others in this regard.

  • Financial Industry and Emerging Trends - I enjoy keeping up with the financial market and emerging trends, especially in the area of technology, although I have yet to test my knowledge in the market in a significant way.

  • Philosophy/World Problems/Politics/Law/etc - I am also very interested in solving real world problems using policy, philosophy, and technology, among other things. 

    Particular areas of interest including the rising wage gap, world hunger, globalization, intellectual captalism, the rise of specialization, classical education in a technological world, the role of religion in capitalist society, the political system, re-vamping the educational system and many other topics.  I also enjoy discussing these types of things and I welcome healthy debate or discussion anytime.
