What I’m doing with my life
I'm a computer programmer working at a charitable non-profit. I'm
also doing some electromechanical design and construction on a big
art project. Sometimes I sit in the living room and play
guitar.
I’m really good at
Well, I once won a pie-making contest. I like to cook. I'm pretty
good at learning stuff, and I can make just about anything. My
David Bowie karaoke is unstoppable.
There are quite a few things I can do that make me a good guy to
have around in the event of unexpected time travel or zombies. I
can navigate by the sun and stars, stay calm in an emergency, and
treat many injuries. I've foraged for food and water in the
wilderness, camped comfortably in the wintertime without a tent,
started fires without matches, used a machete, scaled a cliff,
improvised tools, and evaded pursuit. Fortunately I don't have to
do any of those things very often, but I like knowing that I can.
The first things people usually notice about me
Sideburns? Big blue eyes? Dimples? Unusual points of view? Not like
the other boys?
The six things I could never do without
Mind, body, a world to explore, and people to share it with. Six
eh? Maybe food and music.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
sex, adventure, safety, beauty, fun, good food, engineering
challenges, the news, history, family
On a typical Friday night I am
Sometimes at the shop making big industrial art, sometimes cooking
and watching a movie, sometimes out at a bar with friends,
sometimes at home with a book.
