Re: What's a debian kid look like?
This debian kid:
I am a 22 year old programmer working at the Washington University Genome
Sequencing Center in St. Louis. I do my work in perl, c, and php. The GSC
is almost exclusively a perl shop. The GSC has been a bastion of Sun
Microsystems since it's inception but lots of linux/intel machines
have been showing up recently.
Outside of work I do tech stuff at the St. Louis Independent Media Center
[www.stlimc.org], Read, participate and plan political actions , and try
to eat stuff that tastes good and is good for me. I run competitively,
rock climb, hike, and have worked for entire growing seasons on organic
farms.
I am in the process of moving into an urban housing collective in St.
Louis and generally consider myself anarchist and primitivist with a
paradoxical addiction to digital technology.
I love free software and wish that there was more free hardware. ;) The
'digital divide' bothers me and I am VERY interested in getting something
like the Yellow Network Coalition [http://www.ync.org] going in St. Louis.
I am currently listening this stuff mostly:
Ani Difranco's new album "revelling and reckoning"
Radio Head "Kid A" and "Amnesiac"
Wilco "Yankee Hotel Fox Trot"
The Mountain Goats [http://www.themountaingoats.net]
Benjamin Britten's War Requiem
Aphex Twin "Come to Daddy"
Bjork "Vespertine"
Bruce Springsteen "Tom Joad"
Random Belle and Sebastion
Recently read non fiction:
"Blowback, Costs and Consequences of American Empire"
"Life is a Miracle, an Essay against Modern Superstition"
"Science of Coercion, Communication Research and Psychological
Warfare 1945 - 1960"
