Your lies are old but you tell them pretty good.

About Me

My enemy is the clock and circadian rhythms. I'm trying to be prolific and sucessful at many competing things but the need to sleep and eat don't jive with my plans.
I'm tall, male. etc. I'm good at fixing things. Just ask. As of December 2006 I aquired a cell phone, so my largest ironic quirk (i.e. being a chip designer for cell phones who doesn't have one) is no more. I play music and make bass guitars for people if they give me money. I like walking in the dark and riding my bike when possible.

My Interests

making music, making musical instruments, being human, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Cat cat kitten Pi! 3.14159 CAT!! KITTEN PI POWER! All relenquish control to Kitty Pi! Yes no yes no yes yes! Take three parts mustard, one part Sharpie marker, half-part baking soda, and throw it away! It would be terrible! IKE IKE IKE!

Heroes:

Maybe for now Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites, designer of Spaceship One. I don't even know much about him but he designed a successful spaceship. On his own! Granted he had a lot of finacial backing and a history in the aerospace industry but its like if I decided to round up a bunch of friends and build a new Golden Gate bridge. From scratch. And I thought I was cool when I made a Tesla coil...

Plastic forks

I just got done spending some time here at working poking myself with a plastic fork. It seems I'm not done yet. Still kind of tough.

My visit to New Orleans

Wow.  So I'm back home in Florida for the holidays after a one night stop in New Orleans to visit a friend and break up my drive.  The destruction and overall chaos there is amazing and I di...

The clumsy weekend

This weekend was marked by lack of motor skills, or just skills in general. There might be a tumor growing but I have to give credit to some underlying clutzy superpower that's just now maturing. Symp...
