Name: John
Righties and Romans call me sinister, but i'm a nice guy, if a bit misunderstood at times.
I work on ideas i think can change the world, such as collaborative filtering and social computing. I watch sports mostly to learn something in a sport i play. When i cycled and raced, i trained and rode 10000km yearly for years, until i burned myself out, but still i prefer doing to watching. My compatriots and i now find ourselves the center of organized inline skating in Rochester.
