| Name: | Universal Machine |
| Location: | Illinois, United States |
| Birthdate: | 1979-05-09 |
| Bio: | A universal machine is any device that can, given enough information, fill the role of any other device. I'd like to think that I can fill that role.
I started this journal because I was vain enough to think that I could write. I keep it going because other people are deluded enough to agree with me. Either that, or I make a good clown.
I'm a fan of loops of logic and Carrollian prose. Nature didn't see fit to give me claws, fangs, camouflage, or any of those other cool toys. Instead, I have abstract thought and communication skills. Not quite lightning death on wings, but I may as well amuse myself with what I do have. |
