IN THE REALM...OF THE REGION

About Me

i am not so much meat as machine, programmed to smash Big Media and all who dare to cross me. I contain ester gum of wood rosin. Do not taunt me. Direct sunlight or tampering can create volatile reaction. I DJ at WPRB 103.3 FM in Southeast PA, Jersey, NY & Delaware. Also on the web- www.wprb.com Look at me, I'm a DJ. My appendages are made from audio conducting cables and toy Grab-It claws. I enjoy snarking and pure unabashed enthusiam equally. I might be the only luddite robot. cry me a rivet.
