h) Most interesting kayak trip
    Every trip is a great trip. Even the one when I almost destroyed a boat.

i) Short Bio (personal description)
I started kayaking about four years ago. I live in St. Paul, 
Minnesota. I spend the summer on Lake Superior when I can. Try to get 
out on the Mississippi a couple times a week during the fall and 
winter. I turn 32 next week. I am an artist (visit my site at 
http://www.well.com/~butoh), but we all know how well that pays so I 
worked in advertising as a designer to pay the bills for awhile and 
now run my own small design/consulting firm. I am also a visiting 
professor at the College of Architecture at the University of 
Minnesota. I also co-edit and curate an online journal from MIT Press 
devoted to exploring the boundaries between art, science and 
technology. http://mitpress.mit.edu/LEA
