P.S. This is my old, old, old profile. I made a new profile to see if I've changed, kinda as my own personal statistical and psychological experiment. I lots change in the past 4 years, and I wanted to see what, if anything, has changed.

I thrive in a crossection of the underground that uses art, science, electronics and FIRE as drugs. We push it in to our veins, it pumps through our hearts, and it floods out minds with euphoria...but I'm not addicted, I could quit at any time! I play with toys that are dazzling to see, here, and interact with, but deep in their hearts is the true surprise, they push the envelope of what is possible, what is affordable, and what can be made by friends.

One such gift is Milo Xolt, born September 23rd, 2008. He was my running mate for president this in 2008, and maybe again for 2012, but currently he holds the political position of Squeaker of the House. Obviously, he is more than qualified:

My need is simple, all I want out of life is someone to share it with. Not all of it, not even most of it, just a lot of it. I suffer from the special kind of arrested development that no one can fault me for because there is no reason for me NOT to be as alive and excited as I am. I seek someone who has the same joie de vivre. I am a creative geek. I enjoy the making of things simply for their making. I love the impromptu fabrication of stuff. I like sharing ideas and making them happen. I like it when a good plan falls through, a bad plan succeeds, and any plan where my toes and fingers survive.

I am also: * A cyclist][ (26 mile commute, round trip) * an atheist * A Burnering Man Nerd * A nerd working (contractor) at NASA-Ames/Muppett-Field * A volunteer for many good, worthy, and exciting causes (Black Rock Arts Foundation, Burning Man, TechSh*p, Maker Fair, Yuri's Night, Scrap Eden, Lovefest, and dozens of Burning Man related projects and camps and events.) * A conservationist (1st) and an environmentalist (2nd) * Following the Cacophony society * Involved in many maker/artist communities * I don't watch TV, EVER! * Overly tender, obsessively generous, and divinely wicked all at the same time. * I eat free ranged meat (People are going to eat meat. Until there is an alternative to factory farming, people won't opt to more sustainable and humane food. I support that alternative)

I'm a contractor for NASA. As to be expected, I am doing nerdy stuff.

Meanwhile, I'm volunteering for: Techshop, Black Rock Arts Foundation, Yuri's Night, Burning Man, and many other pieces of craziness.

I just got done preparing for Maker Faire, where I helped Shipyard, Neverwas Haul, Techshop, Breakers to Bay, Orb Swarm, and was on TV interviews for Techshop and Swap-o-rama-rama.

I'm a bit of a geek, don't-cha-know?

Some of the crazy stuff I've worked on with friend for the love of comradery and sheeeeeer geekery:

Anything I put my mind to. It is choosing what to "put my mind to" that I don't do so well.

I like to think I am good with food, with company, with friends, and with tenderness. I am good with the feelings, the nurturing, and the inspiration of others.

Like looking in to a forest, you'll most likely see trees, if you look into a fro, you'll most likely see hair.

(A) http://www.larrygonick.com/html/pub/pub.html the best books, ever!

(B) Life is Beautiful; Il Monstro; Natural Born Killers; 2001; Fight Club; Meet the Feebles; Kingpin; Joe's Appartment; Baraka; Freaked (Why yes, I did just put Baraka between two MTV movies, thank you very much!); Jacob's Ladder; Amelee; Anything Terry Gilliam (Harry Tuttle is my idol!); Movies about Italian culture that don't glorify "The Mob." "The Godfather 2" and "A Bronx Tale" walk this line perfectly while "Johnny Stecchino" makes the perfect "Anti-Mob" movie. Also, anything that makes fun of humanity, especially if it's serious.

(C) Lets just say, my music bridges generation gaps; it is hated universally. Insist on some examples? Ok, Mr. Bungle, Look People, Frank Zappa, some John Zorn (Masada,) need I continue? Cuz it goes on and on. My more accessible stuff includes Primus, Luscious Jackson, Faith No More, Tom Waits, Beck, Bjork, Janes Addiction, Flaming Lips, P-Funk, Bootsy, RHCP, funk in general... I have the theory that anyone 1 degree of Bootsy is awesome.

(D) I'm a food nut.

I am a non-traditional dego who continues traditional dego cooking. I make my own Salami (grind, mix, stuff, cure, etc.) out of non-factory-farmed piggies (mix 1 part ethics, 2 parts supporting the non-industry industry, and 4 parts taste), Ricotta cheese, Tomato Sauce, Manicotti, and I live off of Roasted Almonds and Pesto.

I enjoy just about any ethnic food and love Indian stuff. Honkey-chow I don't enjoy, but eat. I have a love/hate relationship with veggies but I am working on it. I also have a special place in my heart Frozen (yes, still frozen) Eggo's smothered in Peanut Butter and chocolate syrup. I take instant potatoes on every camping trip.

No chilies of any variety can satisfy my lust for heat.

My Kiddisimo Bambino, My heart and mind (combined), my music, my bike, my fro, and my towel.

What the fuck I should be thinking about. My Calculus instructor said I would achieve greatness, if only I could focus. I told her that my inability to focus IS the source of my greatness.

Nothing Typical: Critical Mass, Cacophony, Bar Crawls, Flash Mobs, playing at TechShop, BoxShop, NIMBY, or any other epicenter for fantastic nerdiness, artistry, and partying. Maybe doing family stuff. Probably increasingly the family stuff.

I suck at OK CUPID

When I was a kid, before I understood sex (beyond what I learned on Nova) I used to fantasize about the girls I had crushes on and giving them bathes. I guess that was my idea of how people who cared for each other showed it.

I'm hate losing friends by falling in and out of love with them, and I have never been interested in loving people who I can't consider friends. Life and love are cruel this way, but what a joy they can be

If you aren't afraid of a freak... who's idea of a good time is being a freak among a crowd of freaks...if you want to be a freak with me...with us...not to stand out in the crowd...not to blend in to the crowd...but to stand out as a crowd.

You want to cross country ski, NOW, or river kayak as soon as it gets warm enough to, I'm FIENDING for kayaking!
