About

Sam-NeverwasHaul.jpg, originally uploaded by Spaceman Spiffy.

Photographer and social adventurer, I tend to seek my own path. By day, I am a mild mannered teacher of all things Apple. By night I participate in unusual events such as Burning Man, Dickens Fair, Renaissance Faire, RoboGames, the X PRIZE Cup, and Space Frontier Foundation Conferences. My love of space travel and all things Apple are matched by a fascination for underground art and alternative living.

It is tough being an artistic person in an industry dominated by engineers and programmers. I learned to translate their language into a human tongue, so that novices can understand the technology that surrounds our modern world.

The goal of this blog is twofold:
1. Encourage me to write! And to write as much as possible.
2. Gather ideas and interesting resources for my books
I want to publish books about space tourism and my other unique experiences.

Check out the my efforts with the Space Tourism Society here.

Check out my photographs on my Flickr site to get a feel for who I am and places I’ve been.
