/ I am a Ph.D. student at
/link http://www.caltech.edu/ Caltech
 (go Beavers!) under
/html <a href="http://www.klab.caltech.edu/~koch/">Christof Koch</a>.
/ As a scientist my purpose is to create a machine that feels.  Towards this end I am currently studying the
/link http://consciousness.googlecode.com Information-Integration Theory of Consciousness (IIT-C).

As a disruptive technologist my goals are to expose corruption, curb abuses of power, and with "gloves off" ensure the digital age never becomes a digital dystopia.
/ I'm currently focusing on improving
/link http://www.bitcoin.org/ disruptive currencies
and
/link https://www.torproject.org/ anonymous
/link http://tor2web.org/ publishing.

When not doing either of above, you can sometimes find me at the
/html <a href="http://www.santafe.edu/">Santa Fe Institute</a>.
