It's a trick. This is all designed to distract and hypnotize. None of this is real. Matter is energy condensed. Facebook is a vacuum condensed. Go listen to Bill Hicks.

MadHatter considers himself an “everyman” in the underground entertainment business. While he openly claims not be the best at what he does, he does put in an unbelievable amount of effort into his work and strives to do better. Always learning, always evolving, he not only runs the Scrub Club label, he also produces music, records and mixes albums, spits complex, mathematical flows, contributes artwork both digital and traditional, does graphics design for the site and printed products, builds and keeps all of the Scrub sites updated, creates gaming mechanics, handles promotions and public...

I play pointless facebook games
I'm probably overly geeked that I have small enough feet to wear star wars or superhero little kids shoes.

I spend most of my free time organizing an Android Mobile Development Group called Killer Android, playing board games, running around crafting and fighting mobs in FFXI, attempting to learn and failing miserably at the Korean language, watching anime / movies, going to cons, traveling, taking face offs in ice hockey, working on home improvement projects, petting and feeding the husband (wait...I meant to say dog), riding one of my three bicycles, thinking up new but not very practical inventions, playing and singing along to my Alesis keyboard and reading.

To help pay for all of the things I'm passionate about I work as a Senior Applications / Systems Programmer for the University of Michigan... Read more

The very word erotic comes from the Greek word eros, the personification of love in all its aspects - born of Chaos, and personifying creative power and harmony.

Silly, geeky, dorky chick. I just like to have silly adventures, to smile, and to laugh! I work, am a full time student, am a board member and discussion leader, and still love finding time to have fun!

I'm going to school for a psychology degree, with a focus on human sexuality. Sexuality is a passion of mine, so studying and working in that field is an amazing opportunity!

I love people. I hate conflict. I take thousands of photos of absolutely everything and they all always end up on facebook. I like to document my days using these photographs. A visual diary of sorts. I don't drive (not yet anyway). I text too much. I over think and over analyze everything. I'm overly obnoxious at times and try to be annoyingly optimistic, but I'm super shy and don't like letting people in. I love glitter. Txt. 1-248-227-3089.

In the beggining, there was the word, and the word was Joe. Joe like's to think that he is an interesting person, but alas his life is usually incredibly dull. His actions are practical and impractical, and he is down-to-earth and fantastical, leftist and rightist. He like's to ramble on using fancy sounding words and type in the third person. Basically, he is just weird. But in a good way. Really, a good way.....

Instead of talking about me, let's talk about what really matters, in the form of a rhyme. The wonderful thing about slivers is slivers are wonderful things their bodies are made out of sinew they've got muscles on top of their wings they're hasted, trample, shroud, and shadow plus one plus one plus one but the most wonderful thing about slivers is there... is more than one!

Despite being a first timer to Penguicon, I will be running two panels this year.

Summon Creatures from Cardboard - A discussion on how to build large, and usually pretty impressive, creature costumes out of Cardboard, PVC, and other inexpensive materials.

Wing Building - An opportunity to build your own set of pulley operated mechanical wings. So far attempts to fly using them have been unsuccessful.
