The Digital Air-Conditioned Hippie

I have Blue Eyes

Pacific Coastal Highway,Eostre 2010

I was born in Kansas City, in a hospital that no longer exists, in September of 1970.
My beautiful son Spencer was born on August 15th, 1999, and changed my whole world.

I work with computers for a living (I currently work as a Security Analyst) and used to be Uber-geek all the time. It was really great in the beginning, because in many respects I felt like I was getting paid to pursue my hobby. As time passed of course, work and play started to feel a lot alike. Thus, it’s kinda rare to catch me in deep hack mode these days.

Instead, I can most often be found hanging out with friends and neighbors who love me. When I’m not doing that, or donning the “Super Daddy” costume, you’ll probably find me in the basement working on a piece of music.

I’ve been a student of Kabbalah for some time, and have a tendency to read/study/daydream/pretend I know something about many esoteric subjects. I’m also relatively lazy, which isn’t the most useful trait for anyone interested in pursuit of that Great Work. If I must label myself, I would say I am first and formost a Hermetic. I am a Freemason, raised in my home lodge (Shawnee 54, KS) and in April of 2005 became a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason – a Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret.

Forgot to post quickly that last night, I revamped my website. I bet nobody really noticed. The photo is from Geeks with Guns, Full Auto, back in 2000…

   OK so, a brief update: I’m in the middle of relocating to the Left Coast, presently with my girlfriend in Los Angeles California. I expect to put down roots and start a business further South, about 2/3 or 1/2 the distance between LA and San Diego. More to follow – but my twitter updates are “where it’s at” these days.
