what is Ken? is it some kind of creature? or is it some kind of thumping, humping dancing machine? with the most advanced, ecologically conscious engine available, it runs off of 100% straight unrefined vegetable and gets 60 kilothrusts per litre. |
Get PhD, generate fusion power, create magnum opus, end war and hunger, eliminate waste, and go to bed early (but not to sleep). |

the most amazing experience of my life is when i met Komola Mondol, a Bengali woman who lives outside of Kolkata, India. She has been suffering from arsenicosis (arsenic poisoning) for many years and clearly wears the signs this disease. Regardless, she is one of the most delightful women I have ever met. Although she lives in a mud/straw shack with her husband and they barely get by (i.e., food and medication to ease her pain), she freely offered all of her money up to help her neighbor. This is what motivates me. |

I dropped out of college after a year and a half of griping about it. Then I joined Americorps*NCCC, built some houses with Katrina and Rita survivors, and fell in love with the SOUTH and SUNSHINE and manual labor. Then I joined the Student Conservation Association in Big Bend National Park and fell in love with PLANTS and NATURE and TEXAS. Then I moved to Austin, the land of all my hopes and dreams. |
Owning a little bit of land, growing a successful tomato garden, going back to school, doing 10 pull-ups, getting over my fear of heights & needles, learning the piano so I can start a Hanson tribute band, traveling abroad (India May '09!!!), having the best year of my life every year. |

I spend my days writing code for Linux. When I'm not doing that, reading, or messing with the house network, I like to work at the CSA farm and generally learn about sustainable living. |
To be part of some kind of intentional community that practices permaculture. To be free. |
