Enough Boring Stuff! Here are something fun:

Wiki da Pit

I am a proud owner of a bratty Pitbull named WIKI. Yes, we name her after Wikipedia and she is very open source- I mean she is very open to different food sources. She eats everything including carrots, celery, mackerel, chicken neck, dried baby shrimp, kimchi… lalala… The only thing she spit out so far is mint and basil. Read more of her story here.

Kiva.org

Five percent of the profits I make from arts is on loan to entrepreneurs in developing world through KIVA.org. Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance institutions and is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.

Cross Country Trip

In 2005 we drove cross country in our 1991 Infiniti G20 with one compact carload of belongings, moving from San Francisco to New York City. We met lots of cool dudes and nice ladies in the trip. Here’s the official blog with tons of pics.
