About Me



Read my blog for all the really interesting things about me.
I say these things so you don't have to.

The truth shall set you free.
But first it will piss you off.

My Interests

I love images. What I like changes all the time.





I like to collect images and make videos set to music.
This is my latest video creation set to a track called "Marisi" by Cantoma, a very talented DJ artist from the UK.
He has a page here on Myspace you should check out. His creations are some of the smoothest music around as far as I'm concerned.

My tribute to Tracey Thorn. The track is "Easy" from her "Out of the Woods" CD.

Here are some links to other videos I have made that are kind of cool:
Teardrop -- Massive Attack
Rapture -- IiO
Women of War -- Portishead
Tell Them My Story - Nerina Pallott
Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge
It's Wonderful -- Durutti Column

I'd like to meet:

Everybody. If you are interesting I want to share new ideas.
If you are boring I want to inspire you. . .
If you are old I want to know what you have learned. . .
If you are young I want to know what you believe. . .
If you are sick I want to understand your illness. . .
If you are lost I want to talk about the landscape. . .
If you are here you are an expression of what is possible. . .
And I want to know what is possible. I suspect it is more than we would guess.

Music:

all kinds of scientific books about geography and geomorphology and climate;

Heroes:

Heroes should be heroic only to other people and never to themselves.

The desert is not what most people imagine when they think of Oregon. Even those who consider themselves Oregonians tend to think of this state as a place that rains too much and is lushly green. But that image is just a slice of what Oregon is. Vastly more of it looks like a desert than a rain forest. It's just that far fewer people live out here in the desert than in the busy metropolis with its green drizzle. My roots are in the desert, strong tenacious roots that live with little water but lots of sun and a sky that is a color of blue unmatched by anything you will ever see in a rainforest.

I have seen the enemy and it’s name is FEAR.

Can I please see some creativity in our writing?

You know, one of the worst accusations you can cast upon a writer is plagiarism. To accuse a writer of stealing someone else's words and using them for their own is to cast the writer in a light of d...
