A man whose mind is a haze of swedish punk rock, fantasies about musclegirls, and strong opinions on portable electronics (and slightly less stubborn views on Free Software).

I do a little venting, but always strive to find some form of silver lining: to leave a bright impression rather than poisoning the WWW with unprovoked cynicism.

Picked my username because I believe that Noa Izumi from the Mobile Police Patlabor franchise is a pretty good "patron saint of technologists"-figure (give or take the cop thing) and would make a better FOSS mascot than most of the existing ones (Puffy is alright).
Read the pinned post for more details and a fancy collage.

== Interests ==
- Making simple gameplay mods for ZDoom
(weapons, player movement, jetpacks)

- Hacker conferences, i.e CCC
(never been to one, but the talks eviscerate 99% of tech Youtube)

- Reading: tech blogs, manga, religious works
(TechTipsy, @domi@donotsta.re 's blog, even Hackaday if I'm desperate)
(Patlabor, Rayearth, anything by Shirow Masamune)
(New Testament, The Religion of the Samurai)

- Videogames
(Colin McRae Rally, Quake, Kung-Fu Master, Millipede, Devil World)

- Permacomputing
(mainly interested in the "my laptop from 2003 works fine, get off my lawn Microslop"-part of their philosophy to be frank)

- Birds
(kinda want to scratch a Golden Eagle under the chin, I find them oddly cute)
(don't get why the Mozilla Internet Suite's grandson is called Seamonkey instead of Albatross or something)
