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). 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.
