A Little About Sevoo

The Basics

I'm a lifetime learner and avid teacher (or at least a compulsive explainer); I like learning new things & like teaching them to other people even more. I'm living and loving life in Seattle, WA. I received a BA in 1995 from UC Berkeley, studying English and biochemistry. I do have more to say about school and education.

Why "Sevoo"? It's a bastardization of a baby-talk mispronunciation of my real name, foisted upon me by my sister while I was in high school. "Sev" works fine, too.

I'm a tried-and-true Unix junkie, but I have done a bit of research on AppleScript and Mac WWW Servers and NT security.

Misc

• photographs
• people
• Maintaining the PNW-BI mailing list, for bisexuals in the pacific northwest region of the US
• Reading
• Listening to music
• Learning and educating about alternative sexuality
• Working. I consider myself very lucky to be able to spend my whole day geeking. Take a look at my resume for more info about what I've done. If I were to create a dream job for myself, it would be something involving technology and creativity -- kind of like getting paid to put my poetry and prose on the web
• I love to cook. Sometimes I shop at HomeGrocer.com, an online grocery store which delivers in the Seattle (and now Portland, too) area. They're fabulous -- the prices are similar to those I get in my local grocery store, and the free delivery means I don't have to lug bags of flour or kitty litter down the street and up the stairs to my house. I get recipes from Epicurious, a Condé-Nast vehicle, from Veggies Unite, a wonderful site my mom turned me on to, and from cookbooks, which I frequently buy from Amazon.com's Cooking, Food, and Wine category. I've recently discovered ChefShop.com, a Seattle-based specialty food boutique that promises to ship me all sorts of yummies; while I haven't tried them yet, I plan to. Finally, FlavourWeb.com is a bit of an encyclopedia of food.
• Blatant commercialism: I've been told I'm hard to shop for, so I've created a list of gift ideas and buried it down here where no one can find it. I figure most people should be able to look through this website and find something their creativity can attach to if they want to give me a gift, but for people who prefer more certainty in their life, I've put together a list.
