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 bestest friend Jason. We gave him a very, very sharp knife
for his birthday.

Cheryl and I at her 25th birthday. A whole quarter century
Cheryl! Way to go! You don't look a day over 24. Really.

THE CONTINENT Party.

Terry is an artist. This was a work he gave me. It's called
"God Croissant of Dune".

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 friend Amanda doing what she loves to do the most... SHOP.

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.

I never go anywhere in Seattle without my umbrella.

This is me and my friend Leah in Edmonton.
|
|
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.
