Andrew Cafourek’s Summary
I happen to like nearly everything except disproportions, people who do not use blinkers, Picasso, basketball/baseball, economic deadweight loss and standing water around sinks.
I graduated from the University of Missouri with a BA in Political Science in 2007 and I am also just a couple credits short of a second degree in Sociology which is where my passion for social media and web strategy come from. I also come up with various entrepreneurial ideas every few weeks so I run a few of those on the side as well.
But as far as what I really like to do…that is harder to nail down because I love to dabble in art/design, 3D graphic modeling, infographics, statistics, cycling, economic and political theory, etymology, anatomy/physiology, AppleScripts and blog design for friends.
