What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I use my real name on the web because I have a grownup job at a Brand Strategy and Design Firm where I don't have to pretend to be different than I am. Woo hoo!

Right now, I'm interested in the world of LED light art, algorithmic data mining, micropublishing, eBooks, Bathtubs, Gardening, Screen Printing, Lava Lamps, weird craft projects, Generative Art, photography, and building Burning Man mutant vehicles.

I have spent most of my money on books, records and art supplies.

When I die, I would like my corpse to be catapulted into an active volcano.
