(You've earned your check; Leon will get larger.) But that's only because you only have to handle me in small doses. In large doses I become a great sleep-time agent. Alas, the quickest way here is by asking about what I do: nothing shuts down the desire to continue a conversation like the idea of technical writing. Unless, of course, I'm talking to another technical writer. It's like arguing about Linux versus Windows <strike>at a party</strike> <strike>at the zoo</strike> <strike>in a club</strike> just about anywhere while surrounded by non-techies. Thank you!

You have an immense amount of technical knowledge, but you play the violin. You are interested in nerdy stuff, but you don't limit yourself to it. If anyone took more than 5 seconds to get to know you they would appreciate that you aren't boring at all. You’re one of the most interesting people I know, to be honest.
