About
In college, I majored in fiction writing. I was also in a band called Sandpiper Air (and later, Citizens on Patrol); once, we shot a music video. Sometimes I still make music by myself.
Right after college, I wrote game reviews from home, worked as an actor, built websites, and worked in art toy retail.
Two years ago I moved from Chicago to San Francisco for a fresh start at a new job.
If you are still here, you might be looking for my former work blog, my video game blog Infinite Lives, or my long-running private public diary.
I've also started importing my Tumblr posts, which are just supposed to be bullshit and fun.

Someone sent me this photo because he knows I think naked people wearing medieval helmetry is hilarious. Like, that's an actual thing I'm into.
Unmitigated brilliance should never go unapplauded.
