I grew up in New England, lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for a while, and am now settled in Manhattan as a Quant. I tend to align with Liberal views; I also often find myself agreeing with Libertarians and even Noam Chomsky. I usually read periodicals and enjoy sci-fi.

Crows are indeed clever creatures. There's an old story in India about a thirsty crow who encounters a pot with water inside. The crow is initially puzzled over how to obtain water from it - the pot is heavy and tall with a small neck and the water is shallow. Then the crow figures it out, and plops pebbles into the pot until the water rises high enough to drink from. It sounds simple enough, yet Archimedes discovering the same principle was so amazed by it that he jumped out from his bathtub and ran into the streets shouting "Eureka!", all the while still naked.
