Makes/Teaches:

• At home I make clocks that work but also look awesome.
• I’m working on a “secret passageway lamp” that turns on when you pull on a book from a bookshelf.
• As a part time job, I teach an engineering middle school class in an after school program, which is just a fancy way of saying “craft class.”  We’re currently building our own planetarium, and recently built these little guys: http://vimeo.com/22908520

Science Experiment Class: RoboCups! from Jasper on Vimeo.

Skills:

• I work for do512.com and do event promotion and web management.
• Magic tricks.  (Not in a weird way, just in an awesome way.)
• I DJ under the moniker “Stereo Stepdad” and I specialize in motown, soul, funk and disco, with the occasional Rolling Stones thrown in there.
• I’m in the band Hello Wheels and I sing, play harmonica, trumpet and organ.
• I can do a mean robot dance.
• Basic carpentry.  I have a toolset, and I will gladly hang all of your wall art at home for 1 or more beers in return.

1st Choice Chow:  Burger Tex.  Hands down, best burger in Austin.   I challenge anyone who disagrees to join me for lunch next week.  I’ll buy you the burger that will change your life, then graciously dry your tears of harsh realization with a napkin.

Bad-ass Self Rating: No Answer

Qualifications: 2 main reasons: I love making things and I hate “papyrus” font.
