THE UNIVERSAL GREETING:

Go check out some of my Photoshop-manipulated silliness in My Pics . Yeah, I made those.

I'd put something else here but I don't feel like it.

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.”

In the meantime, enjoy my sneaky "fake CSS translucency" trick (unless, of course, you're a knuckle-dragging Internet Explorer user). Trust me, it looks fucking awesome in Firefox.

Background: Photoshop recreation of leading edge of the June 11th, 2001 Central Wisconsin Derecho event.

No Time for LoveMore Than Meets the Eye

I'd like to meet:

People that...

...think silence is deafening

...know the futility of counting the stars on a clear summer night, but do it anyway

...embrace their nerdiferous geekitude

...ask stupid questions

...enjoy shitty movies

...would rather be dancing

...don't use the word gay as an all-encompassing word to describe something they don't like, except when used to satirize those who do

...can fly

...have well-tuned sarcasm detection hardware

...rock the funky beats

...wish it were the year 10192

...are familiar with the crew of the Satellite of Love

...think lines are made to be crossed

...aren't offended by my sense of humor

...are offended by my sense of humor

...consider themselves neuropharmacological hobbyists

...chase tornadoes rather than hide from them

...drive fast (see line above)

...have seen death, hung out with him for a while, and don't plan on doing so again

...bothered to read all of this

Music:

The sound that makes you move. Techno, House, Hip-Hop, DnB. Shit that doesn't ask you kindly, but presses the issue. It doesn't ask, "you wanna dance?", It circumvents free will by warping spacetime around you, requiring one to groove or face the possibility of phasing out of reality.
Last I checked, that was no fun.


(not a Nazi)


Movies:

Star Wars, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lord of the Rings, Ghostbusters.Also, any movie that's got tits and exploding cars. Yeah.

Television:

Mystery Science Theater 3000. That is all.

Books:

The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson, the Rama series by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee, Cosmos, Comet, Pale Blue Dot, The Demon-Haunted World : Science As a Candle in the Dark, Billions and Billions : Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium. by Carl Sagan

Heroes:

Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Ralph Nader, and just about anyone else who urged/urges humanity to pull its head out of its ass.
