(1) To be honest, I haven't read an entire book in some time. Although I read a lot, most of it is articles. I prefer sources that aren't motivated by profit, that is, people who write about things they care about because it's the right thing to do.
(2) I enjoy new information in audio, video, or text formats. Because I don't like to be stereotyped or lock myself into a single point of view, I tend to avoid subscription. I'd rather seek out new sources continuously. (3) I'm 51 years old, born in Montana and widely traveled. Though I've spent more than half my life in Western Washington, I don't have an address at this time. I live on my bicycle, having ridden over 8,000 miles in the last 13 months. (4) As a generalist, I have two low level degrees, a BS in Business and a BA in Digital Arts, but most of my learning has been outside of formal channels. (5) I am a Conscientious Objector to war. (6) I hopefully anticipate the emergence of a multi-party democracy in North America. (7) I want our government to catch up with the people, who realize war is obsolete as an instrument of foreign policy. (8) I spend a lot of time riding my bicycle and facilitating discussions focused on how we can support each other to live up to our highest values. (9) I attend political rallies and events, especially those focused on peace. I subsist primarily on the kindness of strangers, although I am an IATSE stagehand and videographer. (10) I began playing with the Internet shortly after it's inception. Though I've used all three major OS and their precursors, I currently prefer MAC. (11) It is entirely likely that humans have already taken stupid steps (like creating plutonium, spreading DU, etc.)which will lead to our eventual extinction as a species. I take solace in the fact that we don't have the ability to eradicate life on Earth, much less in the universe. (12) I mostly surf free wi-fi. (13) I believe my last visit to the library was to research hydrogen for a project I was imagining. (14) I tend to avoid commercial TV. I occasionally watch FSTV. (15) I've been part of many different Peace Organizations. (16) http://home.earthlink.net/~kashimbi/VernBio.htm
