Hi, I'm Paul Spooner, and I'm trying to quit my boring day job as an HVAC engineer so I can do fun creative stuff all day. Difficulty is, I have a wife and five kids to take care of. Any help you can offer is appreciated, and in exchange I'll do more of, whatever it is I do here. If you figure it out, let me know.

Here's a recording of me reading the original pitch (It's changed a bit since then):
Here's a cross-section of things I've made:

Dramatic readings of books, articles (like this one), and rambles on various topics. I improvise (mostly on the piano) as well as sing both solo and in a chorale. I also like writing my own lyrics. I even made a terrible music video! I maintain three blogs, wrote a 120K-word science-fiction novel (building on the work of Shamus Young) and have another book in the works. I've also written some long-form poetry.

I've done a number of 3d modeling commissions and collaborations, one of which was a feature length movie. I maintain my own website, mess with Python, wrote some code for Minecraft, and enjoy crafting parametric geometry. I like making real life objects as well, including ferrocement structures and sculptures, tree forts, wood carving, and plate armor.

I also act, and have starred as the mad king Macbeth, the crazy nephew Teddy, the murderous king Claudius (seeing a pattern here?), and a few others.
