I like to build things. I prefer hacking and learning by doing rather than hearing a lot of excellent speaker talk. I'd rather be moving the movement than posturing to "lead a movement." I like passion. I don't see a lot of it lately. I see it at Sudo room more than I do at most places.

I used to live in Oakland and miss it very much.

When I lived in Oakland, I volunteered at the Rock Paper Scissors Collective http://rpscollective.org/ down the street. I helped clean up trash after First Fridays Art Murmur back when volunteers had to manage the security. It was not very fun doing security and telling angry hippie vendors we had to clear up the street or we would lose our art murmur license. It was not very fun picking up dirty beer and 40's in paper bags. Unfortunately those things have to be done.

I would like to see Rock Paper Scissors Collective, Oakland youth, fun people who sew do more things with Sudo Room and build things.

People like to talk a lot and get excited..

Lately as a late bloomer I've been getting into the outdoors through snowboarding, surfing, and bicycling (skateboarding not as much lately). I'm interested in finding ways to bring that world in a unique way, they are cool but they're sort of bro-ified sometimes, maybe we can do new things with these cultures.
