What's the best gift you received this year?
Best tangible gift, anyway.
Dad gave me his vintage Leica III rangefinder. It weighs more than my first car. I hope to shoot lots of black & white in the next few weeks.
Also, FTW! <3

What's your favorite blend or brand of coffee or tea?
Coffee: Blue Bottle. Is there anything else?
For tea, I’m torn between PG Tips, Mighty Leaf Darjeeling, or my local favorite teahouse Samovar.
How did you pick your Vox name? Does it mean something?
Submitted by LeendaDLL.
I've been using ydnar as a handle/pseudonym for 15 years, give or take. It's my name backwards, derived from a shareware game I released in 1991 called s'ydnar squares.
]]>How many places have you lived in your life?
Lovely suggestive title, there. Anyway, I've moved 26 times in my life and lived in Virginia (5 places), Rancho Cordova, Germany, Nebraska, Missouri, Maryland (2 places), Brooklyn (2 places), Seattle (2 places), and San Francisco (6 places). Aside from a short stint in Seattle, I've been in SF for the past 7 years. The full list, omitting temporary military housing between various stops:
When was the last time you had to speak in front of a group? How did you feel?
Today, at the company meeting. Noam led off, and I filled in some details. I felt caffeinated.
What's your morning beverage of choice? Coffee, tea, juice? Homemade or store-bought?

What are the 5 words that best describe your life right now?
Question submitted by mojito.
Patience, refinement, cooking, Pista, Vox.
The first two because life is a process. Cooking because it's currently my favorite thing to do at home. Pista and Vox should be obvious. :)
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
Vibrate.
Not because there's a special place in hell reserved for people who use ringtones, but because Anil's ring tone puts anything I could imagine to shame.
