about

greetings netizen travelers, wayward souls, cyberpunks, cyborgs, vampires, ninjas, and secret agents everywhere. thanks for doing the drop by. you’ve stumbled upon the information space of a most righteous city cat from Chicago. besides being the cyberpunk you both know + love, he still knows kung fu and operates as a tech-priest, investigative cyberjournalist and a secret agent known as ‘the constant gardener’. my latest hobby upon having moved to middle of Middle Earth (aka the state of North Carolina). as previously overstated this is a personal homepage (aka=vanity page) which is for me, about me, by me = the 3 amigos. wouldn’t be here w/o me, and well nobodies carving my name in the tree. be all that you can be in your one man army. nowadays everybody usually starts these with ‘I’m such and such, I do these impressive things to impress y’all with’. that might be interesting for some but it’s all been done before see what I’m saying? time to move along. the idea has become the institution. and as I see it I don’t know why we go to great lengths to bore the shit out of ourselves + others online. being self concious or politically correct in the ether is like being shy in a large empty stadium. I honestly couldn’t care less if my nosy neighbor, some person or other, co-worker, relative, friends or enemies discovers me. or get offended by something. grow thicker skin, move right along. nobody ever bothers thinking/mentioning you when you play it safe or by ‘the rules’.


immaterium: construct of personal site + blog + zine + homepage in one. entwined in a double helix of waxing nostalgia, retro vibes + nostalgia.

ethnicity: Korean + Caucasian

persona: can be pretty intense, or intensely laid back. poker faced prankster. usually fearless, or a chicken shit when it comes to doing things I hate. like cleaning or organizing my crib (which I hire a crazy grad student chick to Marie Kondo my su casa). support local hhuhhuhuhuh. has a disdain for people who dislike spicy food or meat. I’m admittedly a food snob and recently procured gardening as a hobby (I’m now a home owner, so I’m adulting now). not to mention being something of a super spy ‘the gardener’ is a great codename I must say.

an amalgam of the following: Al Bundy, Alex P. Keaton, Ferris Bueller, Vince Vaughn, Bruce Lee, The Vampire Lestat, Dr. Gori, Gordon Ramsay, Jack Tripper, Tony Almeida. I would add David Hasslehoff but that might be considered bragging.

origin story:

I grew up all city: Chicago.

born + raised. was a quiet, unassuming introvert until I grew into a young adonis and sensitive artist type, with a penchant for drawing nude women and ugly people. I later became a pick up artist and something of a fake poet. more like a con artist poet who wrote shit to entice the ladies. later a pool hustler, then a web designer at Playboy interactive online, IT nerd at Motorola, and product designer for As Seen On TV! hey if I could I’d be a tea farmer (prepper) in the Andes mountains with a nuclear fallout shelter. that or a bounty hunter specializing in people that fake their own deaths.
