I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm into local music.

I'm a video producer. (www.uniteddigitalfilms.com)

I like to read.

I am commited to the idea that logic and the scientific method should be taught at every grade level. Logic is the answer to almost every problem.

Thoreau said that for every thousand hacking at the branches of evil, one is hacking at the root.

That root, that source of all evil, is uncritical thinking.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Logical passionate people.

Music:

Yes, I like music.

Movies:

I'm a sucker for old kid adventures like Stand By Me, Goonies, and Explorers.
I like a lot of different genres.
I'm a fan of P.T. Anderson, the Coen Brothers, and Wes Anderson.

Television:

Science Channel, Discovery, Travel, A&E.
I love "how shit works" shows like How It's Made and Mythbusters.
Also animated comedy: Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park. I like things that can be funny and insightful at the same time.
I'll watch poker sometimes, but I generally can't stand televised sports. I find it impossible to care.

Books:

I like everything I've read by Aldous Huxley. I like Russian writers such as Gogol, Pushkin, and Dostoevsky. I'm a fan of Douglas Adams and Poe. Steinbeck and Orwell. Sagan, Dawkins, Kaku. Sartre, Camus, Kafka.

The great thing about being sick...

Not eating and coughing all fucking day is doing wonders for my abs. I mean, really. I've got a six pack right now from starvation and diaphragm contractions.
