About Me

The details are all in the bars to the left. If you'd like to see the photos I post online, you can goHERE.
Aside from that, this box is a little tricky. I'm going to turn it into a quote box for now. If I knew any HTML it would be far prettier.

"It's certainly interesting to look back at what I was talking to him about back then, and to recognize that I am still terrified of the same thing. I am afraid that if I let a huge feeling into my system, that it will take me over completely, create a havoc in my life, and maybe send me out off of the planet, in the way that I saw happen to my friend back in February. I want to feel, and there are some dramatic obstacles in the way."-- Khaela Maricich from The Blow

"Maybe the moral high ground isn't as high as it seems." -- Ani DiFranco

"That's just the way you are. You don't have to be afraid." -- Mirah
"Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy." -- Joseph Campbell
"One can not ask if a model represents reality, only if it works." -- Stephen Hawking

" In going on with these experiments, how many pretty systems do we build, which we soon find ourselves obliged to destroy! If there is no other use discovered of elctricity, this, however, is something considerable, that it may help to make a vain man humble." --Benjamin Franklin to colleagues in England, 1747
"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves. " -- Edward Murrow
"Being outraged online is a form of entertainment, and refreshing a thread to receive a hit of consensus packs the thrill of genuine activism without requiring any sweat." -- Jerry Holkins
" Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." --Frederick Douglass
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. " --Albert Einstein

My Interests

Saddle Mountain

This is a nice, easy to get to hike that I recommend to anyone who hasn't done it yet.  I did it on the 4th, and got rained on, and didn't get to see a darned bit of the ocean.  Apparently i...
