The Eik

There isn't enough alcohol for this conversation.

About Me

An unrepetant geek in many disciplines. Urban planning undergrad with a penchant for the surreal, the silly, the goofy. Prone to rants, debates, arguments, and two-bit philosophizing. Yes, I'm quirky. Probably weird, too. Just ask my friends.

My Interests

virtual worlds, architecture, blogging, social networks, debate, philosophy, religion, politics, music

I'd like to meet:

Ninjas and pirates.

Music:

It varies. For a snapshot of what I listen to every week, just go my Last.FM page. Now with handy charts!

Movies:

I'm too far gone from the mainstream of movies to even count. Super Troopers, Kill Bills, Pulp Fiction, ... I dunno, whatever's in my DVD bin.

Television:

If I watch TV, which is rare, it's either the History Channel, the National Geographic Channel, or Adult Swim.

Books:

American Gods, Anansi Boys, Foundation Trilogy, HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Empires of the Word

Heroes:

Albert Einstein, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson

For the second time in three years, Eik is checking himself into the emergency room. Cause? Heart skipping. Like, once every couple of minutes. Sucks. Anywho, I'll probably be spending my day there. ...
