"Look at the big picture. Don't focus in on two or three things to the exclusion of other things. Keep everything in context. Don't go out of your way to justify stuff that's obviously cool. Don't ridicule ideas merely because they're not the latest and greatest. Pick your own fashions. Don't let someone else tell you what you should like. 'Tsall good."

--Larry Wall, Perl, the First Postmodern Computing Language

Karl Jorgensen

(person) by Xydexx Squeakypony

Karl Jorgensen was born July 27, 1968. He lived in Hawthorne, NY for most of his life. In 1987, he graduated from Dobbs Ferry High School in Dobbs Ferry, New York. The following year, he decided to start being more honest about his life and come out and has been much happier.

In 1990, he published a zine called The Grumbling Yak. At some point, he discovered the Goddess and accepted Discordianism as his religion of choice. He also spent lot of time hiking and exploring ruins of the Hudson Valley. In 1991, his 1980 Plymouth Arrow caught fire because of the Dances With Wolves Curse.

In 1992, he went to college at SUNY Purchase, and studied philosophy. He got involved in furry fandom in 1993, creating the character Xydexx, an anthropomorphic inflatable unicorn on FurryMUCK.

He moved from New York to Maryland in 1994, and in 2001 moved to a newly built townhouse in Leesburg, VA, where he lives with his boyfriend.

Karl's interests include furry fandom, urban exploration, inflatophilia, web design, and marsupial-filled popcorn machines rolling down a hill. He has a bad habit of procrastinating.
