I'm a free-speech advocating, economically socialist, independent,
anti-authoritarian, overfed, long-haired, leaping gnome and civil
libertarian who is only slightly beholden to his corporate
overlords.
Now in Thai
Phohm bpen khohn a maeh ri gan khrap. Chun chob nom yay.
Now in German
Flughafen, mit heiss, bitte.
Travel for work,
travel for fun, travel some more for work. My job has been
occupying too much of my time lately. Work / career is more or less
on track - now it's time to focus on living.
I'm pretty good with
computers. I work as a consultant,
mostly in the US, and when I'm lucky, around the world.
I provide tech support to everyone I know, build my own machines,
and generally find the intersection of people and tech
fascinating.
I'm a lousy, out-of-practice
guitar player, but I still tool around a
bit.
I'm great at taking things apart, and not getting around to putting
them back together again.
I imagine it's my hair, since I have a lot of it. It's good to let
your freak flag fly.
Now in Spanish
Creo que es el pelo largo. Es mi banera "freak".

Mountains and beaches and
NPR and beer and the 'net and having a
pocketful of music wherever I go.
I spend a lot of time thinking about what I will do when I finish
my current gig.
I think about places I want to travel, ways to modify my car,
photos I'd like to take with my old school
35mm gear, and where I'd like to
live.
I spend a lot of time thinking about religion,
corporatism, income inequality,
and other things that piss me off.
On a typical Friday night I'm at home winding down from a crazy
week at work, wandering/staggering about midtown, or waiting for a
plane.
I've taken communion, even though I'm not Catholic. It tasted like
cardboard.
