Midsize black guy behind nerdy glasses and a scattered attention span, often found over an MacBook reading feeds or twiddling with GarageBand. Mostly harmless.
I'm Male and Open.

Testimonials
unsure shot says:
"George's interests encompass such a wide range that I shouldn't be surprised anymore when I see what he's been up to. He's got an admirable curiosity and unmatched wit. I miss having him around."
vasta says:
"I'm going to be honest: I have no clue where Walnut Creek, USA, really is. But it doesn't matter, because George's presence reaches far beyond that city: he knows how to make you laugh, how to make you think and how to keep you smiling, no matter where you may be.
He may say he's mostly harmless, and for the most part, that's true, but reading his blogs, going through his del.icio.us links, and following up on his captivating Flickr stream is definitely harmful to any free time you may have. But I'll readily admit that I enjoy it, so keep it up, George."
in2jazz says:
"George is one of the coolest cats on the planet. He is the younger brother that I always wished for yet he is an old soul as well. He is the personal cheering section for all he believes in. I am just glad that he believes in me."
Donald Andrew Agarrat says:
"Knowing that I have someone like George in my corner makes me strive to do my best and continue to challenge the limits that define what it means to do my best. Brother, however long we are on this road together, know that I am right there with you."
photojunkie says:
"George is a wonderful guy, intense. He would lay in the middle of the street for you in a suit if he had to."
