Generalist, writer, raconteur electronique, musician, mosaicist, ursine scootician. 
I tell stories, make music with electricity, teach mosaic arts at nonprofits, work for a university, and really enjoy a careworn wooden spoon, a well-kept French automobile, or an evening listening to radio drama.
 I go by #sonascope on #metafilter, #kantoendrato for solo music gigs, #kevsab in duo mode, and tell stories as either Joe Belknap Wall or Joe B Wall.

In the real world, I'm just Joe.

I love Centre Pompidou and give no sway to the people who don't. Of course, I'm a fan of beton brut and metabolist architecture, too. I have no love for Victorian wedding cakes.

I have never played hooky from school, though I skipped a lot of classes in college (on my own dime, thank you very much).

I think my life's main quest is not for cosmic answers, not for validation, not for love, not for fame, wealth, or importance, but rather to find a really good chair.

I'm not a huge cat fan, but I am a fan of amusing cat names.

Is there a better cure for anglophilia than Eastenders?

Dog as my witness, I aim to come up with the perfect vegetarian Timballo alla Teramano recipe even if it takes a decade of trying, because oh my gosh I love Timballo Teramano so much.

I dislike "premium" as a marketing term, which is always a sign that they're marketing to the dumbest consumers among us.

I hate to sound like a wild-eyed radical, but I really dislike idiots. They're unpleasant.

I went to Hampshire College for undergrad and now it's closing. I have the usual not-interesting-to-me thoughts about what this may portend about the country, but here's a personal reflection on how this does or does not affect me, and how Hampshire affected me.

I like pencils.

Even more when they're mechanical.
