> What is your name?

Jason Laughlin

> Where do you live?

Durham, off the 55 and 40 intersection, practically around the corner 
from Ray's Elbow Room.

> What do you do?

Database Admin for Self-Help (http://www.self-help.org), a statewide 
non-profit focused on increasing low-income and minority homeownership.  
Currently converting our giant Access database into a killer PHP-MySQL app.

> What do you /really/ do?

Dance and teach Argentine Tango (http://www.tangophilia.com), take lots 
and lots of photos, continually seek out my drugs of choice (new music, 
stimulating blogs, stimulating images, original thoughts, caffeine, 
chile peppers, top-shelf tequila, books, gadgets), concocting kitchen 
creations.

What is your quest?

Build a vibrant community of tango dancers, take people off the street 
and help them become competent dancers (even if they swear up and down 
that they can't dance), broaden people's minds about music, food and 
philosophy, and get people to understand why logic and the scientific 
method are not "just another belief system".

What is your favorite color?

Blue, Duke Blue, #0000CC, Pantone Blue 072, 286C, 287C, Reflex Blue C.  
The blue of a clear sky seen through a polarized lens. 

I'm also partial to sunset oranges thrown on white marble against a 
storm-cloud gray sky.
