I'm an academic junkie. Some of the stuff I like are antique maps, Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan, graphic novel and comic book culture, and reading American historical nonfiction (especially about Lewis & Clark, the Civil War and early western pioneering life). Someday I'd like to have a motorcycle built from the ground up.

I'm an INTJ. Starcraft, beer, and whiskey take up a significant amount of my "free time" other than reading and dicking around on the internet. And cooking, I guess. I'm a big fan of Ina Garten.

The Longboard Girls Crew skating in the mountains of Madrid. It’s cool to see an all female skate crew since skate culture is dominated by dudes. These women are badass.

Elspeth Beard in London after finishing her solo ride around the world on her 1974 60/6 BMW. via Telegraph “When she finished her training to become an architect, Elspeth wanted a taste of adventure before settling down, and decided to ride round the world. She shipped the BMW to New York where she picked it up and rode to Canada, then to Los Angeles, before putting the bike on a ship for Sydney. Once reunited with her BMW, she rode across Australia to Perth, where the bike was placed on a boat again, this time to Singapore. From there she rode north through Malaysia and Thailand. ‘Burma was closed to me,’ she says, ‘so I rode back to Penang and put the bike on a ship to Madras.’ The next stop was Calcutta and her route continued to Katmandu, Nepal and thence to Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece and back home through mainland Europe. The trip, covering 48,000 miles, lasted nearly three years - and wasn’t without incident.”
