i play with music and computers. if i could have my Mac Titanium laptop
implanted in my body, i would seriously consider it.

memes i love to promote and explore: social gadgetry, collective intelligence, folksonomies, human-computer interfaces, the long tail, cosmology, self-employment, cooperation, collaboration, non-monogamy, self-actualization, cybernetics, open source knowledge, the cluetrain, copyleft, Eastern metaphysics, paradox, power laws, hypertext, ontology, taxonomy, creativity, futurism, nature, technology, grassroots media, learning, the web as medium... and that's before lunch... :)

people who give a shit. to live life without passion is not to live.

i don't want to have any 'serious relationships.' i want them all to be
hysterically funny.
