I am Intuitive, Logical, and Contradictory.
My Self-Summary
These are the things I'm happiest doing.
1) Building something (and it's turning out well in unexpected
ways.)
2) Cooking and drinking wine with good music and good
company.
3)
Hopping from
rock to rock in a stream in the woods.
4) Getting to the second chapter of a book that suddenly seems
interesting.

I compare too many things to books and movies (and NPR
stories)
I want a funny situation to remind me of a patch of lichen or
something some wise old hobo once told me, you know, real things.
The six things I could never do without
You never know until you get there.
I think I could be an infinite number of different people if I lost
the things that define me now. I'm not really afraid of that.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Cool projects I want to try (but will never have time for)
Media- Movies, books, TV (even) I think it fills the void left by
retreating religious ritual of connecting us with people who are
far away or long dead. In some ways it does it better.
Bullshit philosophy.
On a typical Friday night I am
I tend to work friday nights.
When you're self employed, the weekend has a lot less
meaning.
