About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Connect computers to primate brains.

ABOUT ME

I'm solar-powered, which is why I sometimes shave my head without warning. I've always rejected boring. As a wee lad, I came to believe my epic calling was to reunite the plant and animal kingdoms, to help humans rise above their chloroplastless state and I decided to engineer photosynthetic animals. Plant people can't be far off now, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysia_chlorotica

I'm looking for new art to hang on my walls. Right now there's mostly monkeys and robots, and they carry a decent load of implied tension as their respective memes quietly battle.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm interested in building communities. People are tribal primates and need other people to do great things.
