Music, Movies, and Books

I really dig folk narrative and simple song structure. I also dig complexity.

I'm really into scifi that deals with deep philosophical issues. Orson Scott Card stuff (Speaker for the Dead) and Dan Simmons (Hyperion) are some favs. Tell me why you like what you like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one?

Outward Bound - Two Weeks in Montana
I went on a deep woods hiking trip with a bunch of people I had never met before. There's something about being in a place with absolutely no human impact that really influences a person.

-Taught an autistic girl English

-Illegally summited a skyscraper

-Started a company in China

-Cycled from Atlanta to Los Angeles
-Cycled from DC to Pittsburgh

-Cycled the Scottish Highlands and slept in a castle
