Here are the users LJ believes are most similar to me in terms of interests.

1 joedecker 15.911
2 aviator 14.377
3 amberskye 11.367
4 quistis 11.111
5 jeremycking 10.142
6 khisanth 9.217
7 bansidhe 9.206
8 devon 9.173
9 jdumars 9.043
10 sebab 8.956

I don't know any of them except Joe. In fact, I don't know anybody in my first hundred except Joe. And that super-high match score there -- 15.911 -- is only after he edited his interests list; he'd forgotten something important, I think. :-) Previously, no match scores were 15 or above.

My next closest bunch of friends appear at 118-122, all tied at 5.809: rampling, gs, mactavish, sinboy, cassidyrose.

Other people are seeing match scores up around 45. Maybe no one out there is even remotely like me. Hmm.

Or maybe I just have a very very short interests list :-)

Was it you who was in dabney or Joe? What vintage? I know a ton of people who were there... early to mid-nineties. I've been to dab parties. Oosh.

Joe. Only thing I know about Caltech is that until they meet me, Caltechers only know other Caltechers.

'twas me. While I was there from 80-84, I know several people from later years as well, perhaps as late as the early 90s. CJ, being smarter, went to MIT. :)

*schnork* Nah, I was just from the wrong coast.

Paul Mineiro, Mike Radford, Dave Benson, Jason Blackader (I think...) Mmm... that's all I know from Dab. Other techers of the same vintage include Alan Low, Alan Chocheran, Myron Ahn, Kate Porter (my fiancee :-)... almost forgot her) Umm... lots of others I guess, but if you know any in that crowd, you'd likely know some of these.

Mike Radford sounds familiar, in point of fact..
