Searching for the Perfect Adventure

About Me

Dabbler in all things aural, part time explorer, part time philosopher, part time counselor, full time student of life..A CopyFighter and member of the Pirate Party!
I was once a boy, an explorer and a flyer. Now my wings have been cut but the ice and the peaks beckon me whenever I open my eyes.
I created whole languages out of the aether, enabling those who were blind to see -- the world not as it is, but as it is perceived.
Seeing the waters, with the fish swimming in the bathtubs, I ran, back to the parched peaks, where my spirit soared, though my body slowed.
Prone sometimes, vertical othertimes, the aspens whisper as the days pass. The cottonwoods answer with their seed flying in the air. I stumble on the bridge, betwixt both, their discourse washing over me.
It may take aeons, but the messages are heard, the lessons taught, and the world percieved melds with the world as-is.

About Me

Dabbler in all things aural, part time explorer, part time philosopher, part time counselor, full time student of life..A CopyFighter and member of the Pirate Party!

I was once a boy, an explorer and a flyer. Now my wings have been cut but the ice and the peaks beckon me whenever I open my eyes.

I created whole languages out of the aether, enabling those who were blind to see -- the world not as it is, but as it is perceived.

Seeing the waters, with the fish swimming in the bathtubs, I ran, back to the parched peaks, where my spirit soared, though my body slowed.

Prone sometimes, vertical othertimes, the aspens whisper as the days pass. The cottonwoods answer with their seed flying in the air. I stumble on the bridge, betwixt both, their discourse washing over me.

It may take aeons, but the messages are heard, the lessons taught, and the world percieved melds with the world as-is.

I'd Like to Meet:

Starlit, Tori Amos (again), James Earl Jones (again), Trent Reznor, Neil Gaiman, Cory Doctorow, Lawrence Lessig, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Heinlein, Jimmy Carter, Al Franken, Bill Joy, Billy Mitchell, Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, Bhuddha, Jesus, Steve Jobs, Dave Winer, Ross Rader, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Crick & Watson, Mendehl (I *know* he faked his results!)

Yes, I know that this is supposed to be the area where I talk all about how I want to make new friends, network, meet tall people, carnivale freaks and whatnot. But much like an objective on a Resume (to get a job that pays more and lets me do what I want more), it's a waste of space. I'd rather use this space to talk all about people that I'd really like to meet, if for no other reason that to figure out what makes (made) them tick. They're not necessarily my heroes, but they are all interesting--to say the least, they all "Thought Different".

A small update....We're down to DEFCON 3 (waiting for lawyerfights)

First, some perspective (in contrast to my previous alarmist tones):On one hand, it's just a house. On the other, I'm not willing to take a *huuuge* black mark so a mega-corp can make $100k on a shady...

My First (tough) Panoramic

OK, here's my first stitched panoramic shot -- it was tough because there was no EXIF data from the camera, the lighting conditions were changing faster than we could line up shots with our dinky Pont...
