Who is Cyanogen?

Steve Kondik? I guess. Android Guru? No doubt.
I've taken a glance at his twitter thing. Says he's a snowboarder and trancer. I stopped there to avoid any semblances to "cyber stalking".
But really, who is this guy? I mean, at first, I get an image of this suave, debonair, sun-glasses-wearing-even-though-its-dark playboy by day and closet android-dev by night. I mean, how could he not be the Bruce Wayne of xda, as cool as his roms are.
But then i get to thinking about it.
He must work on this stuff tirelessly, sometimes endlessly to get updates up as quick as he sometimes does. Not to mention he's twittering and updating a blog. I'm not much of a "social networker" but I can imagine how time consuming this must all be. Is my image of cyanogen a.k.a Steve unrealistic? Is he really some middle-aged, balding, white-guy with a beer belly and cheetoh stains on his three-day old white-tee, sitting at his desk of 7 computer screens with his big slurp in one hand and typing furiously on his three ergonomic keyboards with the other?
I should hope not.
I really wanted to post this in the "Dream" boards but as this is not "related to any phone" I thought I better do right and put it in here.
And guys, really, I mean this:
With All Due Respect.​

Oh, and I'm posting this as my fiancée drives us back home from our christmas trip up to her fam's. Thanks for usb tethering cyan

That description can fit almost any deserving geek/nerd so I think you will have to go into more detail......

I'm just sayin'... Is he Bruce Wayne or is he this guy. I don't think we can ever really know, unless he himself comments on this thread. I'm not really all that interested in knowing either Just a random thought that crossed my mind and that I wanted to share with the community. I don't really every have much to say in the dream boards, as you can see by my post count.

and what does any of that have to do with marlon brando :S

cyanogen quote
"Im am you father"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6sj89xgnl4

Marlon Brando, THE Godfather, who will just as soon buy you dinner as blow your brains out, but "with all due respect". Come on guy!

Only one will "make you an offer you can't refuse"

Some say he naturally faces magnetic north, and that all of his legs are hydraulic... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.

Some say he's wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.

Haha, the Stig, I love it!

Some say that if he ate a sausage his brain would implode, and that he is wanted in 251 countries for indecent exposure, all we know is, he's called Cyanogen...

Some say that his genitals are on upside down, and that if he could be bothered with it, he could crack the Da Vinci Code in 43 seconds.

Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong.

If you have five dollars and Cyanogen has five dollars, Cyanogen has more money than you.

He once had an awkward moment, just to see what it felt like.

Even though he's had sex with every woman on the planet, he is still a virgin. Nobody takes ANYTHING from cyanogen.

Let's avoid the Chuck Norris references >.<
I like the magnetic north one though

This thread sure has taken an awkward turn... lol but I guess I didn't quite know what to expect.

Some say he isn’t machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve.

Weird attractions anyone?

For some weird reason Chernobyl district is attracting me like a magnet. It even came to my dreams several times!
I was growing up in Ukraine, about 65 miles away from the Chernobyl. My mom once told me that teachers forced them to go wash radioactive trains from Chernobyl, if they refused - their exam scores would be Fails. I was reading something last night, and found some interesting info, which would be very educative for all of you:

I believe that she have done great job! She rode her bike all over that place, and it was done years before the "gates of Chernobyl" were finally open!
Anyone else have very weird attractions?

Most of my ex girlfriends to be honest!

I think that is a common attraction.

I really want to go to Pripyat. My life wont be complete without going there.
BTW, I was born in Poland, but I'm stuck in the States so Pripyat is pretty far.
(For anyone thinking what Pripyat is, it's the city where all the workers of Chernobyl worked, and the nearest city to Chernobyl, google it)
Another thing I want to see which is closer from home is the Freedom Tunnel. It's a train tunnel in NYC which was closed in the 80s and was home to bums and graffiti artists.

It is a remarkable story. Not so much that there was a nuclear accident, although that is remarkable in itself, but the stories of the people involved in the aftermath and the survivors who lived through a nightmare.
Pripyat would be a unique place to visit

I've got a mate that went to Auschwitz and it was seriously about 2 years before he stopped talking about it. EVERY time I saw him the conversation would end up there.
It obviously had a MASSIVE impact on him.

Something about that place just makes me wanna see it. Ive never been out of the southeastern u.s. though.

i really really really like apple pie

i love whats wholesome and good , because i know what that means , i wouldnt call it weird tho , but very rare indeed

Aaaa, yes, Auschwitz, I should go there, being that I am from Poland, and the camp was IN Poland. lol. Now it's made into a museum, so its not THAT bad...unless you mean your mate was there during WWII.

[Q] Will My Mother In Law Ever Be Double My Age! Twice?

I have been debating this question with my Mother in Law for a few weeks now. She is about to turn 61 and I am currently 30; so at this moment she is double my age. My question to her is will she ever be double my age again? She says no but I am thinking yes. Saying for instance if we both lived forever wouldn’t there be a time where she would be double my age again? And if not why? How come at one time she could be double my age but then not at any other time in the future be double my age? What value is constant and value is variable?

Your mother in law is correct. This is the only time she will be double your age. If we set your age as X, then her age has to be X+30. The only time X+30 = 2x is when x equals thirty. The difference in your two ages is constant, and the value of your age changes.

She will never be double your age again because if you think if your ages as a ratio (61/30) and add one to the to and bottom, the ratio will decrease and if you were to live forever, the ratio would become
one

Excellent points thank you but how was she double my age at one point in time but never will be again? Is it because of both of the entry points in time? Is time technically the constant and our ages the variables? But then if we live forever is it just our entry point into existance what determines the spread? Because if a variable can turn constant I would think a constant can turn variable. Also what about leap years and other differneces like some months having more days. Come on guys you cant leave me hanging with my Mother In Law like this? Very good answers though thus far.

The fact that you will always be 31 years younger than her would make it impossible for her to be double your age. (Also technically she isn't double your age)

You will always be 31 years younger than her. Never again would she be twice as old as you.

Math answer: You can only have one solution for x+30=2x because it is a linear function, and you're only using positive integers.
Practical, real, and American answer: Every single time you get divorced, you get a new chance.
sakai4eva's answer: Dude, you are on XDA, "bragging" about being pwnd by your MOTHER-IN-LAW about maths. Unless she teaches high school algebra, you should kindly find the quickest egress from life immediately.

New Years Resolutions.

So is anyone going to make any changes for 2012?
I know my goal is to stop eating so much crap, cut down on cigarettes, start hitting the gym and getting into good shape and start some kind of Martial Arts, Kickboxing or somthing at some point

Start working out daily and try to drink more liquor than beer. Besides that, to continue to party hard.

Eat less crap, start to work out again (had a six month brake now) and enjoy life even more!

To quit smoking. However that has been my new years resolution for about 5 years now. lol

enjoy my life, get a girl, get a new guitar and an amp

mine is just to keep doing what I've done these last few months and that was diet & exercise. Down 25lbs and 2 pants sizes and bulked up nicely. Nothing fancy just hard work and proper food. I was never really "obese" but 5'10" and 220lbs wasn't healthy. I'm now 195lbs shooting for 180/185.

I make a New Year's Resolution to never make a New Year's Resolution, which is a conundrum in itself.

From my fingers to your eyez

My sons Karate instructor told him DO NOT set a New Years resolution because "the new year is only new until January 2nd and thats how long new years resolutions usually last." He then told him to set goals and tell everyone what they are so he can be held accountable.

I was going to set a goal to be less apathetic, but I don't feel like it anymore

The current count is 14 dead, 50 injured. It is all over the news right now.

That's very sad. I am baffled that WB would cancel the Paris premier tonight though, do they know something they aren't telling us?
Also, who the hell brings their 3 month old to see a movie like this!?

.....and another one who wakes up and hates the world he's living in. I hope that the families & friends of the victims will find the strength to fight the pain & the peace they need now.

R.I.P to those victims. Terrible times we live in :/

I agree, if only he had used the first bullet from the gun he was firing on himself, this would have just been a suicide as opposed to the tragedy it is...

This is just insane. There's no other way to put it.

craziest thing that happened in 2012,
absolutely horrible
i can't put words that truly describe how gruesome this is

One of the women who was killed, Jessica Ghawi, was almost in the middle of a shooting last month in a mall food court. To paraphrase, she said she got a funny feeling and left minutes before the shooting began.

Very close to where I live there was a shooting in a bar recently in the college town, Tuscaloosa.

These shootings are happening too frequently!

The man was a Vet and he warned people on 9gag weeks before of his plan. He posted this the day before:
