Nice idea goldbludgeon! That's an unusual handle, what does it refer to? My name's Mike. I'm American but I live in Norway. My hobbies are as weird as yours. - I'm a father of 3 teenagers. They are awesome. - I'm a math guy. I've taught every level from preschool to university. Middle school is my favorite. - I was a circus artist (I did juggling, trapeze, slack wire, and clowing) and graduate of Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College. I've performed with three circuses when I was in my 20s. - I play guitar and piano. Not so good. But I like to write songs. Currently secretly writing songs with steve. Don't tell anyone. - I make math art. http://nakedgeometry.com, for example. - I just bought a viking camp last week that I'll be turning into a mathematics creativity center. It's the gutsiest thing I've ever done. http://matematikkbølgen.com - I got tenure in the US and gave it up to move to Norway. I got tenure in Norway and I'm giving that up to run my own business. I think math in schools entirely misses the point. This makes me unpopular with some of my colleagues. But popular with the downtrodden. Thus my soon-to-be break with the establishment. - I like cool mathy things, such as puzzles, logic, balloon animals, magic, music, games of all kinds - I like scifi movies and tv. I don't read books like I should. Instead I read hubski. - I write. Articles, a novel, children's books, poetry. I perform in a play every year. - I have a dog. And a cat. They don't like each other. But they like me. - I have uncurable cancer (how's that for mood-killer?) I've had more unpleasant medical procedures in the last 3 years than a human should be allowed. I'm doing pretty damn good right now and should last for a while. - I hate sleeping - I have a few bitcoin. I bought my first one at $600. I like watching them lose value. mk tells me I'll be rich someday. I believe him. If I go broke, I'm going to sleep on his couch. - I'm a member of a secret organization. We meet every year. And sometimes throw axes.
