CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of the human experience as I can before I can't.

ABOUT ME

I like making things. Food, alcoholic drinks, nonalcoholic drinks, tools, jewelry, art, games, half pony half monkey monsters, etc.

I make things, if you want to make something with me that would be cool, even if I've never made it before I'll give it a try.

PHILOSOPHY

Pragmatic, metiocratic, socialist, transhumanist. Induction and deduction are both good as long as they have a basis.

Music, Movies, and Books

Snapshot:
I'm listening to dreamwave/retrowave that's made to sound like the 80s. Journeys by Timecop1983.

I last watched Mad Max Fury Road.

I'm reading an anthology by Roger Zelazny called The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a professional brewer. Time permitting we can make some homebrew or something easier like gin or absinthe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Boozeahol? Home cooking?

I have a near infrared camera that I take with me on vacations. I'd be happy to take some pictures of you and your city to show you the way that they look in another light.
