About me:
..I edited my profile with Thomas� Myspace Editor V3.6!
I live in the beautiful craft beer filled city of Portland, Oregon and I like to ride my bike named Story to get to places. I like to make things and learn about making things that I never get the time to actually make. I cut up tiny pieces of paper and leave them on the floor of my room. Sometimes I use a typewriter to put letters on the paper before I cut them up and then I glue it to other pieces of paper and then I put it in a machine that that puts it onto another piece of paper for me, then i stick them together and call it brainscan zine.. One time, I wrote a book called "stolen sharpie revolution. it started as a zine about zines and then it became a book about zines. You can get most of my the stuff i make from Small World Buttons
i get paid to make 1 inch and 1.25 inch buttons You know, metal and plastic encased tiny pictures that people pin to their clothes... .. i also volunteer at the independent publishing resorce center (IPRC) where i sit around watching people use computers as i try to figure out better and more unusual ways to use a photocopier.

Affecting CHANGE can be a daunting task. Affecting GLOBAL change? Try HERCULEAN. Still, with an issue as big as GLOBAL WARMING, it's going to take an equally enormous effort to make change. One organization is doing just that. It's 350.ORG, the international CLIMATE CHANGE campaign. Partnering with individuals and groups around the world, 350.ORG is changing the way we look at our changing climate. Already, 350.ORG has impacted environmental legislation in America, inspiring politicians to cut carbon 80% by 2050. On October 24th, 2009, 350 goes worldwide.
In coordination with 350's international day of action, ADITA.ORG releases "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT". This compilation consists of a wide variety of artists from around Chicago, the midwest, and beyond. "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT" benefits 350.ORG, with promotion of the October 24th day of action, and monetarily with each sale. ADITA.ORG is the digital home of A DAY IN THE AIR, a personal zine written by Bradley Adita. "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT" is A Day In The Air #24 and the 4th CD to be released since 2000. "Iowahardcore.com(pilation)" was released in 2003.
