Capt'n Vengeance

Some days I want to be Eddy Merckx. Most days.

About Me

The shape of things to come has morphed, and I'm not sure I'm entirely ready to give in to it all.

Listening to "Godspeed You Black Emperor" tends to make me feel regal.

I am a hopeless Romantic; I recommend that everyone tries it.

I went to art school, but who hasn't these days. I continue to live in Seattle. I work in an independent bike shop, and still sometimes deliver things on my bicycle.

I like "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Bosch.
I like avant garde electronic music.
I use a double space after I put in a period. Yeah, it is a grammatical rule.

I also like using Post Scripts, but the advent of the computer and word processing software has rendered them obsolete.

My Interests

Becoming a Renaissance man for these modern times, Discussing Aethiesm, Reading, Riding Bikes, Minutiae

late night musings
