About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Going where the interesting times are.

ABOUT ME

Medium-sized terrestrial biped on a small atmospheric orbital at the edge of a minor galaxy.

I make video for a living, and feel fortunate for that.

I have the unoriginal ambition to live and work in NYC someday soon, and the original ambition to be frozen before I die and wake up on a starship.

I am far less travelled than I should be. Hopefully this will help rectify that.

Basically I joined up here to weird up my life a bit, because anyone who travels this way has got to have a story or twelve, and I like to be part of stories.

PHILOSOPHY

We all have a lot more control than we like to admit, it's all about overcoming inertia. Why be jealous of the fascinating world-traveler? Shut up and just join the ranks.

I am addressing this to myself above anyone else!

Music, Movies, and Books

--->Movies
Last movie seen: Moon

My favorite movie is Robocop. Seriously. There's a lot of Robocop crap in my apartment.

I'm a ten minute walk from a great little theater, and I try to take advantage as often as possible.

--->Music
Favorite bands include: Spoon, the New Pornographers, Boards of Canada, Stars, and Phoenix.

I am, was, and always shall be a Beatles guy.

I love indie rock, electronica, chiptunes, all sorts of stuff.

--->Books
I read a lot of sci-fi, graphic novels, that sort of thing. Favorite writers include Warren Ellis, Iain M. Banks, Stephen King (for the Dark Tower), Garth Ennis, Alan Moore, tons of others. I'm not a heavy reader but I'm always chipping away at something with pages, deep into the night.
