Smallplates is the mental outlet for John David Anderson. This humble corner of the net houses his political rants, philosophical musings, and sub-conscious stream of ... consciousness. John's interests include programming, design, underwater hockey, music, gaming, soccer, and extraplanar tag. He is indeed a mammal, and can often be seen in the wild executing the dirty orchid spin, or the yellow emperor's cricket slap.

If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.
