Location:
Chester Hill, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Occupation:
forklift truck driver & freight handler
I loan because:
i've been annoyingly poor; & am now comfortably numb. This makes me a seriously pink Floyd ( www.pinkfloyd.com /). I enjoy the music of Alan Hovhaness ( www.hovhaness.com /), Harry Partch ( www.harrypartch.com /), Humphrey Searle & La Monte Young ( www.melafoundation.org /) - also The Reels ( www.myspace.com/therealreels ), Chase Masterson ( chasemasterson.com /), Brian Eno, Bob Log III ( boblog111.com /) & Henry Rollins ( henryrollins.com /) My favourite writers are Stephen Fry ( www.stephenfry.com /), Samuel Beckett ( samuel-beckett.net /) & Dr Hunter S Thompson, my favourite artists are Charlotte Moorman, Ray & Charles Eames ( eamesoffice.com /), Yoko Ono ( imaginepeace.com /) & Carolee Schneemann ( www.caroleeschneemann.com /), my favourite blog is Nana Visitor's ( www.thekitchenwitches.blogspot.com.au /), my favourite tv show is Star trek: Deep Space 9 ( www.startrek.com/page/star-trek-deep-space-nine ) & my favourite film is Vertical Features Remake ( www.imdb.com/title/tt0075386 /) The odds are good that you haven't heard of many of these names I strongly suspect that this is my problem, not yours I support dispersed computing using the BOINC platform ( boinc.berkeley.edu/index.php ), write (when i can),buy art (when i can afford to) as & support people through other crowd-sourced funding sites such as www.goodreturn.org (charitable) & www.kickstarter.com , www.pozible.com , www.Pledgemusic & Indiegogo.com; but Kiva - & my most beautiful Teresa - remain my most important life-affirmation I suppose all this means that i'm just another Wile E Quixote in denial. If you forced me, i'd have to admit that i know that the damn things are windmills but i still choose to exercise my right to tilt at them anyway. After all, one day they might be giants, & that's when i'll really need the practice....
About me:
Carting bloody big boxes out of 10m shipping crates, amongst other things. These crates are made of metal, which isn't pleasant during lightning strikes. I also drive a forklift truck, make computers do something ressembling what they are supposed to & try to be nice on the phone, not necessarily in that order
