My previous bio was crafted by the very-sharp and disturbingly-large, award-winning brain of the very talented jaylake.
It remains posted here, boldly and italicized like, as it pleases me:

"Having recently re-invented himself from the armature windings outward, (The Sometimes mistaken for Mad) "Reverend Jack" Danjite now journeys through a self-aware fog of economic potential, artistic awareness and emotional shapeshifting. Years of entrepreneurship and bounding optimism have scarcely prepared him for the sea (and sea++) changes in his life, but when he text-messages in from beyond his personal event horizon, Danjite is pleased to report that the undiscovered countries of his heart are fine and challenging terrain.


Here follows my more current, more personally relevant bio, which is appropriately rich in “I” statements:

I have held a moonrock- which I think is really cool.

As I write this, I am decidedly not dead. I live my life with the belief that it is the only one I will get, thus I live in it with a fair- and sometimes unfair- amount of intensity. It is a work in progress and subject to constant revision. I hope I find it entertaining.

Those 150-or-so interests below really do reflect me (or at least aspects of me) quite well.

Additionally:
I am quite fond of Disneyland, of the pre-merch era.
I have been in 49 of the 50 U.S. states- watch out, Hawaii.
I have very few possessions.... but own 15 pairs of shoes.
My passion for and knowledge of obscure vehicles is nigh on legendary.
With no background whatsoever, in 1989-90 I became General Manager of SST Records.
I have formally studied Hebrew, Japanese, English, Spanish and Thai. I can actually speak English.

Oh yeah- I really have held a moonrock.

Feel free to ask me questions. I’ll feel free to answer them or ignore them as befits my whimsey.
