Brian Mitchell currently resides in Manhatten, though he likes to travel. He does consulting with the programming language Ruby, and he's also a ninja. Not the Rockstar-drinking-stay-up-all-night-coding type of ninja, but a slash-you-through-with-a-katana-whilst-you're-not-looking type of ninja. Brian is a recent refugee from Somalia, his family immigrating there 30 years ago but decided to move back to the states due to unpleasant conditions existing in Somalia. Brian enjoys reading books in other languages. His favorite language to read is Klingon. On the days he is feeling adventurous, he'll seek out books written _backwards_ in Klingon.  Brian also likes to compose music by writing programming scripts that call random phone numbers at random intervals, record their voices, and then cut and splice the recordings into neoclassical works. He has found this quite effective as people's tones vary wildly depending on the time of day in which the phone call is made.  Brian has graduated from five different universities with BS degrees ranging from Biomolecular Engineering to Computer Science. He says that his most awesome accomplishment is that he once ate 57 McDonald's french fries simultaneously without gagging.
