Budding Bayesian, forgetful physicist, pragmatic programmer, hopeful hacker, mistaken musician, whimsical writer, and atypical animator, I am.
The Novice Oof has a tendency to whine on his blog and manage not to save the world; his weaknesses are homework and the mundane tasks like sleeping. Will eat anything, but will prefer science fiction. Is of type ‘jack of all trades’.

Q: Why?
A: Because no one normally asks me questions other than “can you help me with my homework?”, and by golly I’m not handling that one on this list.

Q: What’s up with your moniker? I mean, what sort of name is The Novice Oof?
A: Like many names, this one grew out of my sordid past, except it has nothing to do with killing a man with a single thumb. Back in the 8th grade, I read the UNIX Koans and soon afterwards took on the moniker Master Foo. However, sometime in high school I realized that I was no master of anything, much less the UNIX command line, and decided that instead of looking for an entirely new moniker, I would just reverse everything: hence, The Novice Oof was born. I kept it throughout the years because it’s fairly unique, and handles work best when unique.

Q: Are you looking for something to do?
A: Of course! Doing things with other people is cool, especially cool things. Getting paid while doing those cool things is even better: mad science doesn’t pay for itself, you know.
