Yay — my power's back on! After a day in the dark, I can finally introduce myself.

I'm Sam; some of you may already know me from other sites in the SE network. I've also got the diamond over on Tor.SE, and occasionally go on binges over at TeX.SE. I currently hail from Atlanta, GA (but not for long as I'm moving to Austin, TX this very weekend to start a new job in software engineering).

I have a french press and espresso machine sitting on my desk at all times (and a tea kettle on the stove heating up water for the french press, of course), and generally prefer my coffee black. My favorite roasts are Batdorf & Bronson's "Dancing Goats" (makes a seriously good cup of espresso) and anything from the Atlanta Coffee Roasters in the press pot or on drip (I used to practically live in their store-front / coffee shop back when I worked from home). I also recently did a thru-hike of the Appalachian trail, where I learned that it's always possible to make cowboy coffee in the woods if you try hard enough.

I'm looking forward to working with you all to build a great community.
