Where did the nickname come from?  Here’s your answer!

Feedle also enjoys preparing custom-brewed teas and coffees. From his kitchen comes such strange flavors as “Bad Blood” (a dark red tea that’s quite good), “Brown Stains” (a coffee-like tea that’s brewed with a mixture of boiling milk and water), and the ever popular “Maximum Speed 65”, which contains so much caffiene that we legally cannot sell it in the United States (but that dosen’t stop him from making it for his own consumption, mind you). Other favorites include “Tooz Compliment” (a syrupy tea with maximum sweetness for your enjoyment), “Fahkineleet” (a “normal” iced tea), “The Picard” (Earl Grey, thank you), and the dreaded “Mr. Greenjeans”, a tea so bad that if you can manage to drink the whole thing, you get to keep the bottle.

Currently, feedle runs a small startup company called Portland GasWorks. We don’t quite know exactly what he does there, but I’m sure someday we’ll find out.

Feedle can also be held responsible for a number of crimes against The State, including publishing the fledgling ‘Zine Tweek: Technology on the Fringe, and making strange emissions on the broadcast
bands under the name The Voice of Mercury.

Feedle collects computers. Old ones, new ones, working ones, broken ones, it dosen’t matter. Currently connected and operating machines include a Commodore Amiga, a GENUINE IBM PC, a fairly new Pentium-based machine, an Atari ST, Commodore 128, Atari 130XE, TRS-80 Model 4 and I, VIC-20, and even a Sinclair QL and T/S1000. Oh, and that stupid little Berkeley UNIX box in the corner, the TI-99/4A we found at a thrift shop, and the Franklin ACE1200 that refuses to die. I also collect classic video games, but who dosen’t anymore?

On the gaming front, Feedle can usually be found playing RoboRally at game conventions.. and even “hacker conventions” like DefCon, where Feedle and seven other co-conspirators were riding the conveyor belts of the Tropicana Hotel singing music from Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, that “factory” music they play right before Sylvester gets stuffed into a tomato can).

There’s a lot of people I’m looking for that I’ve known over the years. You might want to give it a scan and see if you know any of them.
