About me:
I'm a magazine journalist (for the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Smithsonian, Mother Jones and others) and book author (my latest is Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World). Email is clive@clivethompson.net since they don't yet have messaging here on spacehey ...
I'm also a musician -- guitarist/songwriter for the country/bluegrass band The Delorean Sisters, here's a cover we did of the Eurythmics' "Here Comes The Rain Again" as a spooky field song ...
BTW, this button below was created by corentin -- it's a randomizer that takes you to a random Spacehey profile. You can join it too; corentin explains how in his blog post here ...
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone!

@gio Glad you liked that! No, I've never been to that festival -- it sound amazing! I live in NYC but travel to SF for work occasionally ... after the pandemic eases up and I'm back traveling, I'll have to try to time it so I'm there to see! |

Man, If I did my todo list "user hostile style", I couldn't type this message to you! It would be like grandmas internet explorer toolbars taking up half the screen! |

Hey clive! Love the song you put on here. Eurythmics are great. Have you ever gone to Hardley Strictly Blue Grass Festival in San Fransisco ? |

@Isaac Yes, I did log in to play! It was super cool -- I wandered around a bit, found my way into a house another player had designed with tons of amazing skins, used one of them ... then I couldn't figure out how to get out of the house, lol, so I logged off.

hey, remember when you said something about manyland. that you'd play. if you remembered, how is it. what did you name yourself. assuming you made an account. currently, I'm at spawn, I'm named isaacool and have a plaid red shirt. if you wanna say hi ill be there. if you have traveled away from spawn just type "to 3" press enter and you should teleport to spawn. hope to see you there! |
