| Introduction | I'm a writer on the northern California coast. I explore archaeology, science, technology, small business, green living, travel, nature, health, and weirdness. I hike and delve into the bizarre, intangible, and funny parts of life. Early exposure to horror movies left me with an enduring fascination with mummies, zombies, Hollywood fashion and twisted subtexts. |
