Interests

General
Video games (mostly PC), hand drumming.

Once upon a time I enjoyed throwing myself out of planes - I may need to revisit that.

I've developed a curiosity about photography and dance, I've recently abandoned my curiosity for drawing. Interesting people - real life characters and heroes.

I am passionate about poetry, and the power of the written word.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Music
High quality music is welcome from just about every style, but if it's mediocre it had better be Alt. Rock or R & B.

And, you know, hand drumming.
Movies
I want a movie to make me feel, or think, something profound about life outside of the theatre. Or make me laugh like hell.
Television
No, not so much. Though my immune system has weakened against it from years of no exposure. If you put me in a room with a TV I will be mesmerized, even during the commercials.
Books
Still Life With Woodpecker, Hitchhiker series, anything related to programming, Anne Rice, Thoreau
Heroes
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. "
-Martin Luther King Jr.

"There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness."
-The Dalai Lama

"Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding."
- Mahatma Gandhi

About me:

"Life is not a formal occasion. Scream accordingly." -Synthian

"Why should man expect his prayer for mercy to be heard by What is above him... when he shows no mercy to what is under him?" - Pierre Troubetzkoy

I care a lot about the problem of Global Warming and related climate destabilization.

"I... am more than human,
this body... is not my whole.
Comfort... is my enemy.
The hunger... is my goal.
And if I focus, resolutely,
I will change this world absolutely.
'Cuz it's mine... to re-arrange
and I will be this change."

-Exit Ophelia, Believe.

I've made a careful investigation of Global Warming, and this much is clear: Our planet is warming - we know this with absolute certainty. We know with absolute certainty that the greenhouse effect - where greenhouse gases warm the planet - is real. We know that the planet would be an iceball without the greenhouse gases that naturally exist in our atmostphere. We know that too many greenhouse gases will make the planet too warm.

We are nearly certain that we have caused the recent warming with our greenhouse gas pollution, and that the warming is not just some natural cycle. We know that the more greenhouse gas pollution we emit, the warmer the planet will become. We think that we will probably not like what happens to our world when we warm it, especially if we warm it a lot. A small amount of warming can be good in some places and bad in others, but a lot of warming is bad virtually everywhere. These changes that we are creating are unprecedented in their rate. We are, in decades and centuries, creating changes so big that the Earth would normally only experience them across millenia. We are shocking the system. The talking heads are pretty cavalier about it, but our scientists are afraid.

We have the technology to address this problem, right now. Our excuses of insufficient certainty, of waiting for the next invention... they have the hollow ring of procrastination. A mere reluctance to spend money or change habits. The resistance we offer to that which is inconvenient.

We will either act, and soon, or you will shrug helplessly and tell your children "My dog ate your planet." As in all things, it is your choice.
