umm... I am on UofM's facebook and friendster also. really I think that is enough.
go outside.

My Interests

Terra' Alert Level:
Antidisestablishmentarianism.

Also, according to my friendster account, this stuff:
Drum n Bass, Max/MSP, experimental music, DJing, turntablism, avant garde, the spectacle, politics, electronics, audio codecs, information theory, people, New Wave, industrial beats

lately I've been getting into Chuck and Maybe if I find some time I would like to start playing around with super collider 'cause it seems cool. I;ve been learning how to make native apps in OS X, cause I'm a nerd and I don't have a job or a grant. Also I am begining to work on designing and building a better DJ mixer
(all digital I think)
[should be hotness] I've been getting rather involved in music informatics. I just relocated to London and started research toward a PhD in this area at Goldsmiths College, University of London

I'd like to meet:

People who wear leiderhousen. People who know how to spell leiderhousen (I am fairly certain that I for one do not.) Also I like to play Drum and Bass music. I think meeting people who also enjoy Drum and Bass music would be neat. And tinkering with electronic instruments. I would rather enjoy meeting people of that sort.I would also be interested in meeting people who don't meet this sort of profile.Seems to cover things.
