Awesome, that sounds really great then!

I've added my private gmail, linked in, and phone number. (I clicked on every verify button I could find).

Free time: we're pretty open minded. We like to explore. Last summer, we spent a weekend walking around San Francisco, and another in Monterey. Otherwise, you might find me working on some new side project (programming) or working out. Yael has also reminded me (in her words) we "<3 to bbq."

Messiness: I'm a senior in college. I've had some roommates that would easily hit an 8 or 9 on your scale. Yael grew up with two brothers. We can tolerate a mess. We do try to keep our personal space fairly clean.

My coolest thing (advance warning: this is about to get nerdy): I started programming when I was a kid by programming games. I've always had a soft spot for crazy graphics programming, so this essay that I read recently blew my mind: http://experilous.com/1/blog/post/procedural-planet-generation. "Procedural generation" is a sort of meta-art, where the artist tells the computer the formula for making the artwork instead of doing it himself. But I've never seen it on this scale before--I didn't even know these mathematical tools existed! I've tried replicating his work in C++ in my spare time, but I haven't made much progress.

Yael's coolest thing: when looking at her city's financial statements, she noticed that the city is pretty blatantly funneling money into a park fund that goes nowhere. No park is being built. But at the same time, millions in taxes go towards it every year. Kind of depressing if you ask me, but as an accountant I can see how that would be cool from a very detached point of view.
