A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I’m a great cook
I make great vegan food and burn down kitchens only 30% of the time
I use Linux
You know that stereotype where people who use Linux announce it whenever they can?
So yeah, that
I’m terrible with directions
Don’t even let me drive inside of my home town without Google Maps.
I’m serious
I like computers
“Beep boop” is a common thing you’ll hear me say often
Join my quest to spread Funny Tie Thursday
On a random Thursday back in 2019 I decided to wear a funny tie to work. On a whim, I made it into a tradition of mine and worn a funny tie to work on every Thursday since. I also wear a funny tie on special occasions such as my birthday. Studies show wearing a funny tie on Thursday will make you happy. Do it. DO IT.
Meet Madua
Madua is the mascot of the summer camp I worked at, URJ Sci-Tech West in Thousand Oaks. Madua is a colorful Llama, the words “lama” and “madua” both mean “why” in Hebrew.
IS Colorful
Madua is very colorful, 2020, LGBTQ rights and whatnot.
Is actually an alpaca
We lied to the campers. Sue me.
Is always smiling
Seeing Madua always brings me joy. She sits on my office desk and I bring her to class when I teach courses.
Is small
The original Madua was bigger but we left it at camp. When the summer ended one of the counselors bought everyone mini Maduas.
Meet my Zebras
When I was a trainee in the army, each course had its own animal, mine was a Zebra. After so many years, I’m still as loyal to this majestic creature.
I have four Zebras, Zibi, Zeke, Zoro and Zrubavel.
I got them all during my summer at camp in 2018.
Zibi
Zibi is the 1st Zebra I got, I was looking for a Zebra like crazy before camp started and Zibi was the only one I found.
Zoro
Zoro was the 2nd Zebra I got. I ordered him off Amazon because Zibi felt lonely.
Zeke
Zeke was the 3rd Zebra I got, one of the campers mailed him to me as a gift. Look at these eyes!
Zrubavel
Zrubavel was the 4th Zebra I got, I bought him at the California ScienCenter’s gift shop.
The wisdom I live by
AKA “The video that changed my life”
A few years ago I stumbled upon a video which changed the entire course of my life. Had I not seen this video who knows where I could’ve been. I’m sharing this video with you because it’s very close to my heart. I can recite it in my sleep and I can only hope you’ll like it as much as I do.
