The story.

I'm a hitched man from Vermont with the best dog ever. Aside from each other, Jody and I love coffee and seeing the world. I thoroughly enjoy creating websites, but also brew beer, make mugs from clay, attempt to catch fish and drive a scooter like I stole it. When I'm not, I play soccer, ski, throw tennis balls for Murphy and roast meat with fire.

I live in an old lumber warehouse in Atlanta and make websites for a living. I've shaken Charlie Daniels fiddle hand and almost killed myself and Scott Wieland with a subwoofer. Indisputably, dill is better than basil. Next time you're in Bend, grab a Black Butte Porter and gorge yourself on waffles when in Brussels.

You'll probably never catch me in capri pants, but I'll wear a slingshot on a dare. Divs are much better than tables and The Big Lebowski will never be outdone. Red Bull should be consumed generously and rancid dairy products, avoided. Pomegranates and cherries trump all fruit and Eggo's should be sectioned methodically. Bears devour Handi-Snacks but can't negotiate Igloo cooler locks. My turtle, Sam, ran away when I was 12.

Pseudo wisdom.
Talk to strangers. Greet greeters. Recognize that excellence isn't optional. If it fits perfectly, buy another one. Ask the unexpected. Pick up trash. Improve your posture. Learn "bring out your finest meats and cheeses" in many languages. Own a machete. Set your homepage to NetVibes. Grow some sea monkeys. Recycle more than the neighbors. Give subway tokens to the needy, not cash. Rock it to Dream Theater. Stop for pedestrians. Yell when they dawdle. Use ninjawords.com. Realize Hoegaarden starts with a "who". Put telemarketers on hold. Enjoy Pedro Ximanez from the '70's. Travel with a Leatherman. Don't tip for take-out. Pick up pennies. Use high beams frequently. Win at bocce. Learn the rules of croquet. Purchase a trackball. And never, no matter what, leave garbage on the floor of a movie theater.

I would like to be off-the-grid by 2019 ... I'll let you know how that goes.

What myspace would be if it wasn't what it is ... Jul 16

Are you as tired as I am of hearing about the myspace page of others? When you finally cave and visit, you're never disappointed - the page looks as ridiculous as it is unorganized. As I much as I wish I felt differently, I find it very difficult to get excited about these things.

random past-midnight feedback -- dream theater rock. that ninjawords-thing leads me to monster jobsearch. if you got a good tutorial on brewing beer let me know, all i heard so far is that it's not worth the hassle (especially when you live in munich, where, as you know by now, the best beer in the world is beein brewed. and of course i'm talking about augustiner). doodle. have a nice day, cheers from munich! neo
