Gender Male
Industry Communications or Media
Occupation writer / editor
Location Austin, Texas, United States
Interests Political analysis, cultural critique, otherworldly phenomena. An interest in birding is now budding. In training for my 2nd marathon (Austin, Feb. 2020). Dogs, dragons, dolphins. And elephants.
Favorite Movies Caught last week "Raise Hell: the Life and Times of Molly Ivins" as well as (from 2015) "The Barkley Marathons: the Race that Eats Its Young". Both had me repeatedly laughing out loud, and are highly recommended.
Favorite Music So much to choose from! Kyle Craft and Showboat Honey, Deee-Lite, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Les Rita Mitsoukou, Edith Piaf, Raging Fyah, Ai Ai Ai, etc. I mean, just for starters.
Favorite Books Recently read Surveillance Capitalism, The Psychic Soviet, When Montezuma Met Cortés: the True Story of the Meeting that Changed History, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (Ocean Vuong) and again am flipping through the gorgeous pages of Tufte's The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.
