About me
I'm Mike Nolan, a member of the Voyager class. I'm interested in programming, math, GNU/Linux and writing. Lately though, I've been feeling a bit dissatisfied with my life and trying to vary my interests. When I grow up I want to be a squirrel.
Near the end of the 2004-2005 school year I got heavily into skateboarding again. I got my new Toy Machine board on May 18 and was progressing at unprecedented rates. Ten days later, though, one of the trucks shattered after a 1.5-foot ollie off a dock. Turns out the bastards at Tum Yeto didn't put riser pads on! This is partly my fault and partly theirs, but in any case I am currently without a skateboard. I should have it fixed by the time school starts. If you're a skateboarder, check out the skateboarding guide I wrote.
I'm interested in tunneling and other kinds of urban exploration, though there seems to be very little opportunity for this in Maryville.
I've been selected to be a Community Leader for Matt Garrett's wing, 3W, next year. I'll be rooming with Matt Colsen in 320 (2^6 * 5). If you like mischief, consider moving to our wing.
Music
My musical tastes vary depending on how I'm feeling. I'll categorize them by mood when I get a lot of them together. For now this is just a braindump.
Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Nirvana, Bush, Everclear, A Perfect Circle, Tool, The Beatles, NIN, Adam's Off Ox, The Floating City, Radiohead, Meshuggah, Groupthink, Alkaline Trio, Thrice, Neutral Milk Hotel, NOFX, Kronos String Quartet, Clint Mansell, Opeth, Simon & Garfunkel, Iron & Wine
