My Interests |
|
| My academic interests are in philosophy and psychology and include: critical thinking (heuristics and biases), epistemology, cognitive science (especially perception and attention), evolutionary psychology, logic, and philosophy of science. I'm also interested in moral psychology and ethics (especially distributive justice); I'd like to think of these latter interests as more than merely academic. My most active hobby is skateboarding (as seen in my pics and videos). When I get a chance, I also play tennis and (used to play) chess. I am a sports fan and love watching sports on TV. I'm an aspiring connoisseur of Thai curries, craft beer, specialty coffee, cheese, and good food in general. |

Music:All-time favorites include:Pixies The Smiths Bad Religion Social Distortion They Might Be Giants Pearl Jam Oingo Boingo Talking Heads Depeche Mode (up to Violator, anyway) U2 (up to Rattle and Hum) The Cure New Order Unwritten Law On the radio, lately, I listen to KROQ (selectively), classical, jazz, and world music ("Morning Becomes Eclectic" and "Global Village" on KCRW and KPFK). I like guitars, drums, and synthesizers as much as anyone, but what I really like are: horns, violins, cellos, oboes, and especially accordions and harpsichords. |

Books:When I get to take a break from reading for a living, for fun I like to read science textbooks and "classic" novels. Some novels I've read relatively recently (though not in chronological order):Crime and Punishment, Dostoyevsky Of Mice and Men, Tortilla Flat, and Cannery Row, Steinbeck The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger A Conferederacy of Dunces, Toole The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Twain Frankenstein, Shelley The first three books in the series of The Great Brain, by J.D. Fitzgerald (these are favorites from childhood). I've started listening to audio books during my commute. Two books I just listened to and highly recommend: Failed States, by Noam Chomsky The Conscience of a Liberal, by Paul Krugman |
