I like interacting with creative people who make music, visual art, write, or just like to think about how life on earth could be different. I grew up in Philadelphia. Have lived in Chicago, Rome, San Diego, and Los Angeles. I think I'll be staying here.
I'm:
Trying to sell more of my artwork.
Reading all the books I've collected over the years.
Getting my cactus garden in order.
Just Built my own 'Hackintosh' that runs Mac OS for 1/2 the price of Mac Hardware. Works great. A year and no problems.

I'm good at:
Making Jerk Chicken

Finding knots in sore muscles.
I look like Eddie Munster and Curious George had a lovechild.

Why do humans still collectively work drudge jobs even though most necessary labor can be done by machines?
Funny story, I was arrested when I was 16 for running through a shopping mall naked. That's the kind of thing you do when you're a minor and it gets erased off of your record. And then you admit to it on the interwebs.
