What do you do outside of Palantir?

Cubs Games, Arts events, trying new restaurants, tasting new beers, spending time with friends and family.

If you had your own spaceship, where would you take it?

The nearest planet with “intelligent” life just to see how it looks and acts. Wait, did I just make a joke?

Star Trek or Star Wars?

It was Star Wars until Episodes 1-3 came out. I’d have to say my favorite sci-fi series of the past decade would be Battlestar Galactica.

If I wasn’t an awesome web developer, I would be…

Making furniture, printmaking, or otherwise building something or doing creative work with my hands.

Three things you’d want on a desert island

A boat, an outboard motor, and some gas.

What are your top three video games ever?

The original Legend of Zelda, Madden (which I was always terrible at), and Metal Gear. Can you tell I’m not a gamer anymore?

Google+, Facebook, MySpace, or Friendster?

I probably participate most on Facebook, I use Twitter to see what people outside my circle of friends are saying, and I have a Google+ account that I’m reluctant to use. Even for someone who works in Web development, at some point enough is enough with the screen time.

iOS or Android?

iOS

What’s “the Next Big Thing” going to be?

2012, when we find out the Mayans were right and the next big thing will be hardcore survival of the fittest. I hope I'm kidding and it's just androids — I mean real androids.
