My name is Kevin J. Kelly. I am an imaginative, curious and above all, eclectic man. I am 53 years old with brownish hair, which is slightly thinning, and a silvery beard. I live in Pacifica, California with my wife Gia-Miin Fuh and our three children. Generally, I wear all-terrain sandals, sometimes with wool socks, lightweight pants that conveniently unzip around the knees to become shorts, and a comfortable t-shirt, maybe even a tie dyed one. I always sport my trusty Swatch watch, which I have relied on for many years. Extremely inquisitive and unorganized, I often mumble to myself, thinking out loud, and rely heavily on online Post-It notes. Because I am so interested in a plethora of topics, I am easily distracted and at times forgetful. I like to think that I do not take myself too seriously and have a good sense of humor, cracking jokes during meetings and such. I am extremely personable and encourage others to offer their feedback and insight regarding my research. As a futurist, I understand the need to be knowledgeable about history. I am the ultimate magazine junkie, which is beneficial since I am the editor of Wired magazine. When I read books, I prefer science non-fiction, but I really love books on tape. I have a passion for photography and can be spotted snapping photos in the nature preserve near my house or observing the activities of the ducks in the pond. I am extremely compassionate and optimistic. Despite the hype over new gizmos and gadgets, I prefer objects that have withstood the test of time, unimpressed by newness for newness’ sake. I like to share these objects with friends, which I display on my Cool Tools website. Check it out. I enjoy the simple pleasures in life and spend in moderation, shopping at one of his favorite places, Costco. I love hiking and riding bikes with my family. I love to visit various hot springs to relax and contemplate the future of technology and the world.
