Hi all! Although I'm a Friendster-fan, I'm going to be primarily updating only my [alive not dead] and Facebook profiles from now on so please come over there to find me:
ALIVE NOT DEAD: An online community supporting artists that I'm helping to build
=================
I'm a nerd... I'm online about 23 hours a day, do alot of computer programming, and watch alot of movies and anime. I'm lucky enough to have help create companies over the years that take advantage of all of these things. Some people might call m a bit anti-social while others think I'm very outgoing. It depends on what time of the day you reach me -- I can be super-focused on my work or I can be the life of the party when I'm happy. I try to be happy, level-headed, and I DO enjoy meeting new people if they're also nice, happy, interesting people.
Born in Ohio, grew up in Maryland and Los Angeles, then moved out to the San Francisco Bay Area to attend college at U.C. Berkeley. I was lucky enough to catch the dotcom boom after I graduated and, being already an online nerd, did a couple of online companies with friends. Eventually, my adventure led to China and now Hong Kong...

Who I Want to Meet:
I like nice, happy, interesting people -- and try to avoid mean, sad, colorless people.
I'm new to Hong Kong so does anyone want to catch a movie some time?
Also, I want all of my friends to come visit me here in Hong Kong or Xiamen!
always down to eat, always down to
party but the best thing about stephen?
always down to drink. =D warm sakes
one after another, a pitcher full of yogurt
soju for two, vodka shots, armaretto
sours, mexican beers, pineapple rum
and then some. stephen has been a
dear to me and my girlfriends. he's a
sweetie that's super smart, sauve and
savvy who happens to be single (dig the
alliteration?) too... depending on the
area code. haha. ladies holla quick!
stephen is a great all-around guy. he's
super-smart and never tries to make you
feel like the idiot that you are :D i
have my money riding on this man and i
don't have any problems sleeping at
night. but doood, when you gonna put my
swap engine up on your site?
Stephen ... what to say about
Stephen? Well, I've known Stephen for
about 5 years now. At first he was a
little hard to figure out, but over
time I came to realize that he's not
necessarily all that complex. Not
that he's simple, but he's at least
understandable. Some things I admire
about Stephen: He's dedicated. When
he starts something he really puts all
his energy into it until he finishes
it, and he doesn't take any shortcuts
either. He's got that "follow-
through" gene that some of us have
apparently not inherited, and when I
see how committed he becomes to a
project I get simultaneously annoyed
and jealous. I also admire his eating
habits. Why? Because he eats the way
I wish I could. Watch him eat
sometime and you'll see what I mean.
He's one of the few people I know that
can walk away from something half-
eaten (or 1/8 eaten, as the case may
be) and not even blink. He has a
sharp intellect and is good at
analyzing certain things. He has
pretty strong convictions about his
ideas, but he's open minded enough to
recognize it if someone comes up with
a better way to do something. I think
the only negative thing I could say
about him is that he's a bit chatty
sometimes, but then ... he's got alot
to say so that's not necessarily a bad
thing, right? Overall Stephen is a
nice guy. I highly recommend him
for .. umm .. what is this testimonial
for anyway? Isn't he in a
relationship? Well, if you want to be
his friend, I second that motion.
Hardpack, "Gals Suck"
We produced a series of music videos for the launch of Alivenotdead.com. This is my favorite one! If you like the song, check out the band at:

Thanks for being such a wonderful host in Hong Kong. I'll save that last salmon skin sushi for you. Always.
