==Biography==
__NOTOC__
As a boy growing up in the mentally repressing trenches of sprawling Canadian suburbia, I spent most of my time in the outdoors, and collecting physical goods to ensure my happiness. I went to technical school and learned a plethora of outdated skills - to note here, I had long hair and probably lost any moral agency by then. Nonetheless, I survived and moved on to Art School, doing more computer tinkering - but this time using conspicuously vague arguments to justify my work. Currently in Rotterdam, I am hoping to simultaneously learn new binary tricks and restore my faith in humanity.
