Technomad. Geek. Pilot. Adventurer. Revolutionary.

NOTE: My partner MaCherie1973 and I are traveling the country in an uber-cute & uber-small solar-powered trailer, so our OKC profile location is prone to change frequently. If you see me pop up in a search, please drop a note and say hi! It is always great to meet interesting people as we go, and OKC's mathemagical matching has proven to be a good tool for doing so.

Right now, we are working our way from San Diego towards Coffeyville, KS - where we intend to spend a month trying out seasonal work-camping in Amazon's mega-distribution center.

Other summary bits:

I love the sense of three dimensional freedom I get while flying. I have my private pilots license, and I am learning paragliding -- perhaps the most raw form of flight possible. I also strap a motor to my back on occasion and zoom around in what looks like a flying lawn chair hanging from a giant yellow banana. Sadly - I can't take passengers.

I've been going to Burning Man since 1999. It is the most amazing convergence of creativity on earth, and I can go on for hours sharing about it. Two years ago, I was on the playa for over two weeks and helped build a gigantic gothic cathedral.

I am out to change the world...

But I intend to have a great time along the way...

Technomadically roaming the world, looking for adventure and enlightenment.

Seeing the big picture. No - the even bigger one. Nope, zoom out some more. More still. Keep going. And so on...

I have a fabulous ability to see what is possible, and I am learning how to be a bridge between the realm of what is possible and the in-the-moment truth of what is real, now.

I've also gotten really good at towing and backing up with a trailer.

People tend to notice my eyes, or how touchable the shirts I tend to wear are. (Petting is encouraged!)

I've also been growing my hair out for the past two years, and it is long, straight, and silky.

And of course, people do tend to notice that I am often driving around with a small solar-powered fiberglass home on wheels following behind me. That tends to be a great conversation starter. *grin*

Overall, I tend to like "anything passionate and honest". If it is created with attention to detail and love, I am open to experiencing it - and I will probably love it.

Books: The Way of the Superior Man, The Ethical Slut, Atlas Shrugged, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, everything by Vernor Vinge, lots of random good SciFi, and I always love good travel stories.

Music: Rush (Neil Peart's lyrics!), Blues Traveler, U2 Gaia Consort, Ben Lee, Moxy Fruvous, Joules Graves, U2, more...

Movies: Nausica, Wizard of Speed and Time, The Matrix, Aliens, Cinema Paradiso, more... When I saw the view of the earth from the Space Shuttle in IMAX 3D, I cried.

Foods: Easier to describe what I don't like... No seafood, mushrooms, and lately rarely any meat. I do particularly LOVE Mexican, and Thai, and Indian. Yum!

Six things??? How about six things that I want...

Give me:

+ Wireless global broadband access with unlimited data and voice.

+ A rugged ultra-portable laptop with great battery life.

+ A backpack full of travel necessities.

+ A credit card that never needs to be paid off.

+ A PDA filled with contact info for friends and family around the world willing to host me for a week or two.

+ And... interesting travel partners!

Community. Travel. Love. Sex. Gadgets. Technology. The future.

Often I tend to be wondering where to go and who to see next...

Which day is Friday??? What does 'typical' mean????

I actually used to work as a spy. To gather up information, I traveled the world, used strange exotic gadgets, and I learned all sorts of secrets by persuading folks to talk who were really not supposed to.

(And no, I am not kidding... Ask me if you want details!)

I identify as polyamorous and have a committed primary partner who is also polyamorous, and we mutually support each other in exploring other relationships in whatever form they may take.

One other thing - I do not identify as completely straight, though the majority of my attractions do tend to be for women.

You would like to show off your slice of the universe to some cool nomads passing through...

We tend to be based for extended periods of time either in the SF Bay Area, Black Rock City, St. Louis (MO), and Central Florida. We are always looking to broaden the cool communities that we know in each place.

PS: I tend to only sporadically hop into OKC, so please don't be offended if it takes me a while to respond.
