Fringe scientist, domestic carerist.

I like simple systems and complex people.

May have coined the expression #botlicker.

I am a general systems, and computer hacker that is opinionated on how systems work and how to make them work for us all. All my thoughts are my own and do not necessarily reflect any sane or rational person's views.

I ran MAGFest for a decade. Now I live in a van down by the river, write chiptunes, and run an electronic entertainment museum.

I enjoy things that provide a sensory experience. I game, I attempt to participate in the demoscene and am hacking together a synthesizer (see header pic) and music software from scratch.

I subsist on pizza, instant noodles, occasionally delicious proteins. Tryin' to switch to plants. Expect posts with retro technology, strange beverages, and ponderances.

He/They

Independent creator, self-hoster, and counterculture enthusiast. I publish The Grist, an independent publication on technology and civil liberties, run stickertop.art, a gallery of sticker covered laptops, and of course zinedrop.com, a zine discovery and sharing directory. Decades in the hacker community taught me that technology is best when built to connect, not consume. Tilting at windmills is kind of my thing.
