 Yeah! I'm a Canadian author. I wrote four books about the net back in 1995-1996. Don't go looking to buy them, however. The publishing company went belly up. Oh well, it's at least sort of cool my name comes up on amazon.com.

 "We don't serve your kind around here!" Wow! I'm in geek country... a Seattle mall.

 Would you believe I had just cleaned my desk? People think because I wear eyeglasses and ties I'm neat. Well I'm not.

 Outside of the world's very first Starbucks. That's my best friend in Seattle, Stompin' Stevie Jobs. Ever since tech stocks crashed, these former billionaires have to do whatever it takes...

 A seafood stand in Seattle. There's nothing quite as decadent as perusing a stand packed full of fresh seafood.

 My friend Terry and I in a Korean restaurant. Terry normally doesn't look that stern and I normally don't look that glum. I think we had just seen a horrible film at the Toronto International Film Festival.

 My friend Amanda. She's an Occupational Therapist. Once I asked her what the difference was between an Occupational Therapist and a Physical Therapist. The answer I got I didn't even begin to understand. She does Mensa puzzles for fun, eh? Her pastimes include crushing male egos, taunting, solving the world's problems with an HB pencil and ruler, and browsing through candle shops.

 My band Mesquite Crucifix hit the campus radio charts in 1988. Mesquite Crucifix's techno-dance hit "This is a Religious Song" made it to #2. It entered the charts at the 18 position.

 This is my favorites spot in Seattle: a downtown parking lot with a spot reserved for amazon.com. I have a habit of taking a lot of pictures in parking garages and pointing at sings.

 My friend Leah in my Seattle neighborhood of Kirkland. In downtown Kirkland there's this strange bronze cow with a coyote on its back. Although Leah is occluding its head, the cow has both horns and an udder. I'm told by Leah, who knows all about farm animals, that bovines don't have both udders and horns. It's good to know.
