Designer, engineer, abstract thinker, situationist, iconoclast, polemicist, and general irritant. An endless stream of completely useless information. Speaker of truth to power. Tormentor of politicians, neoconservatives, fundamentalists, university administrators, and designers deluded enough to believe their own press releases. Aficionado of single malt whisky and coffee. A good person to have on your side in a crisis, debate, trivia contest, or fistfight.
