About Me

I do this during the day and this at night when I'm not at a bar or something...

my phone number as expressed in hex-colors:

design geek. web nerd. mill architecture affectionado. rhode island lifer. music nerd. skateboarder. collar bone breaker. iced coffee drinker. Grant owner. letterpress type-setter.

I exude self-deprecating humor. I hold a passion for kerning. I have an old fan collection (the ones that can chop your fingers off). Coffee Coffee Coffee. I sing and dance. I hang my button-up shirts in order of color. My favorite font right now is Gotham Medium. Skatepark Skatepark Skatepark. I don't mind sweating when it is appropriate. I wish I could afford a Vespa type thing. I collect art by making websites for artists.

My Interests

Design, photography, urban exploration, skateboarding.

I'd like to meet:

Fans of XKCD.

Music:

My partial list of "perfect" albums (listenable from start to finish): Aesop Rock: Fast Cars Danger Fire and Knives // Atmosphere: Seven's Travels // Clutch: the Elephant Riders // Beastie Boys: Pauls Boutique // Fantomas: Suspended Animation, Fantomas // Faraquet: The View from this Tower // The Fucking Champs: VI, V, VI, III // Heirespecs: A Tiger Dancing // Hella: Hold your Horse Is // Kid Koala: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome // Modest Mouse: The Moon and Antartica, Lonesome Crowded West // Morphine: Good // Pixies: Come on Pilgrim, Doolittle, Surfer Rosa // Primus: Pork Soda //Secret Chiefs: Book M // Soul Coughing: Ruby Vroom // Tortoise: Millions Living Will Now Never Die // Tom Waits: Small Change.Basically, I like some non-radio hip hop, old school skatepunk, post punk, math rock, some metal, some rock and indie rock, chicago rock, jazz, alt jazz, and even some folk. I love music generally.

Movies:

Well, I'd rather list directors, like Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Jim Jarmusch, Stanley Kubrick, Tim Burton, but one of my all time faves is "Ferris Bueller's day Off"... grew up in the eighties, what can I say? Glenn Gary Glenn Ross, Being John Malkovich, Coffee and Cigarettes, Back to the Future (all 3), City of Lost Children, Spotless Mind, Team America (Fuck Yah!), most Monty Python.

Television:

TV on DVD or online. I am appreciating high-bandwidth lately.

Books:

I wish I had more time to read... reading the new Mark Danielewski. That guy is insane. I like that he always lists the fonts in order of appearance in the colophon... like movie credits.

Heroes:

My Dad and my brother. Those guys rock. And in all seriousness, I realized that Mike Kelley is the coolest fucking guy ever. Oh yeah, and Chris Geiser. That guy is cool ass-shit (joke for nerds).
