Background:

"When he is not building websites, writing biographies about himself in the third person, or otherwise wasting valuable time, Matthew enjoys developing relationships in his urban community by playing beach volleyball, biking through Balboa Park, visiting Su Lin at the San Diego Zoo, watching movies, eating good Mexican food, visiting national parks, supporting his team, and attempting to convince his friend Stacey that extraterrestrials do exist...
