About Me

I am a wealthy recluse Mega-Slacker Nobel laureate sculptor and neo-classical beer song aficionado.

Wait, maybe I dreamed that. Anyway, I am in Austin, so by default I am a musician and/or programmer. My dream is to get my PI license and live in a mobile home. I will probably wear a checkered leisure coat and drive a Trans AM. But my friends scoff and tell me I am too influenced by 70s detective shows. Feh!

Oh, did I mention I am working on this computer program that emulates human language so well it fools people into thinking it is another human? For fun! Here, let us try it out.

Dog runs to the door,seeking danger to the pack,barking at the night.Sorry, that was my Haiku program.

My Interests

Slack, Bugs, Groupware, Agro-Consumerism, Ving Tsun, Co-eds, Electro-Musical interfaces, Psychedelic-Clog Dancing, Massive Multiplayer Online Game Theory, and Cartouche Scrabblex

I'd like to meet:

The rich, the powerful, the beautiful, the intriguing, celebrities, geniuses, people of undiscovered raw potential, hey, if you're gonna bother getting out of bed you should aim high.

Oh all right, just about anybody, geesh, your tough.
Milkshake:
My Milkshake is better than yours...err I mean
Malted Black-and-White Milkshake in the Style of Daniel Plainview

* 1 pint good-quality vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
* 2 tablespoons of malt powder
* 3 ounces chocolate sauce
* 2-3 ounces bourbon
* Whipped cream (for garnish)
* Shaved bittersweet chocolate (for garnish)
* Cherry (for garnish)

Place ice cream, malt powder, chocolate sauce, and bourbon in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour shake into a tall glass. Garnish with a large dollop of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a cherry on top. Serve with an enormous straw.

Music:

Almost anything but vocal music. It seems that any group, composer, or band, no matter how good, devolves into a blubbering American Idol parody the second a single identifiable voice becomes associated with them.

Movies:

Television:

30 Rock, Some HBO, Weeds was OK

Books:

The Science Desk Reference is nice - I highly recomend it - It's quite big and suitable for propping up almost any table or sofa.

Heroes:

Team America, Fuck Yea!
