Retro Computing!
Discovering new music, European fantasy/sci-fi comics (Heavy Metal, etc.), Star Wars, R. Crumb, distopian sci-fi, cyberpunk, hardware/software interfaces, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, cats, Dr. Who, tattoos, cycling (the Tour de France kind), synths, skepticism, Get Fuzzy, gummi candy/Mentos, Frank Frazetta, mathematics, Newtonian/modern physics, close-up magic (cards/coins -- yes it's geeky), science as art, Egyptology, IRC (Internet Relay Chat), Altoids Sour Chewing Gum, archery, buying books and not reading them until 6 months later, social networks, art deco, philosophy, human/machine interfaces, Russian cinema, playing guitar/piano/drums (sequencing them for now), wondering where all the time went...
I'd like to meet:
Perry Farrell (done), David Bowie (hurry before he croaks), Trent Reznor, David Lynch, Joey Santiago, Josh Homme, Bob Moog (damn he died recently oh well), Richard Feynman (damn he's dead too), Peter Murphy, Harrison Ford, George Lucas, Tom Baker (Dr. Who!), etc. Man this is a dorky section.
