My name is Ben Buchwald. I was born on July 10, 1981. That makes me 22 as of the writing of this entry that will be out of date in a few short months. I am originally from Sharon, Massachusetts. I lived there through high school. Following that I went on college at Carnegie Mellon University. I started as a drama student then switched to computer science. After only 4 years I graduated. After that I went to MIT to be a master's student at the Media Lab. All this and more you can read about in their own entries.

Who am I? I'm a nerd, but I like to think of myself as a balanced nerd. Computers are definately my forte. I have been programming since I was 11. What I'm really passionate about is helping and entertaining others. That's what I like using my talent to do. I'd probably say that my dream job would be working on theme park attractions.

I try to be balanced though. I like skiing, ice skating, camping, and all sorts of other stuff. I'm a big movie fan. I have a large collection. I'm always up for a new adventure. Hopefully I'll have a few to write about. Until then...
