This is the sort of person that I want to be engaged with:

* highly opinionated

* driven by personal interest

* not afraid to go down the worm hole and come up with little public recognition and enormous personal gain

* highly engrossing project page

* mysterious motivations

* unknown implications

* legally ambiguous

I love this shit. Keep it up, Christina.
