For many years now I've left a trail of flecks across the Internet. Just begun novels; explorations of culture, music, writing, food, the future, mountains, long distances, shallow oceans, deep canyons; oddly-composed music; even more oddly-constructed poetry; impassioned editorial; strident analysis, and a slew of images, sounds, and scribbles. Most of this has passed into the aether, waiting only for some semi-sentient algorithm to pull it from obscurity twenty years hence. In the meantime, there is this lodestone, gathering what it can.

I've spent the last 15 or so years exploring the borders of markets, innovation, curiosity, technology, culture, society, and policy, with very little regard for passports or visas. While my early travels are documented elsewhere, I now spend my time with Pinyon Labs, a strategic foresight research firm. We do spectacularly interesting and innovative stuff in transportation and energy for private industry, government, and non-profits.

I've been slowly trying to consolidate the virtual me, spread as it has been across the nets. Most of my writing (at least my better stuff) is available at atelier tushu, my workshop and exhibition space. There too you'll find a smattering of painting, photography, and sound sculpture past, present, and future. Elsewhere is my writing on running really, really far. There is also an irregularly updated collection of cultural ephemera called CultureLust that I maintain when I think about it.

Also: there is a facebook account that I maintain for cultural reasons. You'd be better off being a friend elsewhere first.
