Feel free to connect with me through any of the means below. I am most responsive via email and Facebook (I may not check other sites very often). I try to respond to everyone who contacts me, but [for various reasons](http://lesswrong.com/lw/eua/reasons_for_someone_to_ignore_you/) I might not; feel free to ping me if I don't respond.^[Also see [I emailed my customer asking multiple questions\. Their reply addressed only one\. What is the polite way to point this out?](https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/44483/i-emailed-my-customer-asking-multiple-questions-their-reply-addressed-only-one); i.e. I will try to respond to every question or point, but sometimes I might not (for whatever reason). If you really want an answer, feel free to re-ask the question/restate the point.] You can also stalk me online (e.g. by following me on Quora or Facebook, or by reading what I have on this website). I also don't mind if you ask questions about me on Quora, though recently Quora has gotten stricter about what sorts of personal questions are allowed[^bnbr]. [^aname]: I usually use "riceissa" on most sites. This is somewhat of a historical accident: when I tried signing up for my Gmail account, "issarice" was already taken, so I picked "riceissa" instead. Since then, I've sort of standardized on "riceissa" for most services. [^bnbr]: In general, you should be fine as long as you follow Quora's “[Be Nice, Be Respectful][bnbr]” policy; it matters less whether the person about whom the question is asked is fine with it.
