| Bio: | Darling, I believe that your obsession
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 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.
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.
I don't do drugs post quizzes and memes often. And I post infrequently, and so am easy on your reading load.
I want a tribe to belong to. I want that cradle-to-grave security that is my birthright. I want more, more of everything, more free time, more wealth, more sex, more slack. And less angst in the world. I want fearless, boundless, human-centric technology that /works/. I want to buy a cheap commercial ticket to the Moon, and to stand on it with my own two feet. I want to raise kids who can deal with life, with the world. I want the Technological Singularity to arrive, and for humans to emerge, unscathed and proud, on the other side. And I want my flying car, dammit.
But what am I doing about it? Too little, I am certain of it. But I see, and I yearn, and I shamble sometimes dazedly and slowly, and sometimes in sharp and clear-eyed dashes, towards something. I write code, I learn about programming and web design and AI, I read and watch and play hungrily, I try to find my writing voice, however halting, and I love people.
I am frequently overwhelmed with how much I like everybody on here. And with how little time and resources I have. But what can you do!
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.
