justbeast@livejournal.comDarling, I believe that your obsessionI hoard beautiful and amazing things, glimpses of good ideas, and Tech That Works. And I share them with people who appreciate. That's actually my vocation, and a large part of my purpose in life.
is your only way out of here
It's your only spiritual condition
where heart and soul they cross-appeal
-- Gogol Bordello, Sacred Darling
I am obsessed with good scifi books, anime, b-movies, webcomics, old video games, AI and artificial life, MUDs and world creation, near-future RPG systems, clever software, religions, ceremonial magic, intentional communities, portals and knowledge management, Cleveland, sailing and girls.

Yes, this is all going somewhere. I'm trying to get across something with these entries and diagrams. There is a story, and a pattern, and a point. Be patient with me.
FILTERS: I only have one filter -- the [Diary] filter as a simple record of what I did and thought each day. This is merely for organization, and so as not to flood your Friends feed (unless you want me to). :)
To be added to the filter leave a comment on this entry.
If there's anything interesting, juicy or prurient, I'll simply post it to my journal (or merely friends-lock).
Un-Friending note: I am very low-key about my friends list. Please feel free to un-friend without warning.
