When he's not playing polo with the other lads, or having a spot of tea, he's fighting the great supernatural forces of Cthulhu within the bowels of old London.
Oh wait, you mean the other Mark Danger Chen.
Well, my brother Mark is a child of Silicon Valley. He plays computer games, drives a crazy flaming Volvo, and plays Ultimate frisbee. And recently he's become addicted to bicycling.
He's still very much a nerd. He insists that we maintain a website on the road and he plans on charging batteries using solar panels. Hopefully he will survive the camping and mileage. He just may have to save my butt when we cross Nebraska. You never know when the Children of the Corn are going to feed your hand to the meat grinder.
Mark went to Reed College where he DJ'd for a radio station. You know, one of those college stations you can barely tune in across campus. This was actually a blessing-in-disguise since his idea of entertainment was reading the Illiad over the air or playing the same single over-and-over again.
Amazingly, someone was wooed by his antics, so he's not single. He's been seen in the company of a cat named Ushki, and her owner Robin.
Oh yeah, he's also the webmaster for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, fulfilling two of his dreams: working in the educational sphere and doing technical stuff. And, of course, he loves being called "master."
Why's he going on this ride?
Well, I mentioned it to him once and he thought it was a good idea.
Crazy? Oh yeah.
We generally get along really well except I still owe him one for flipping the big wheel over and splitting my head.
Just you wait Mark 'Danger' Chen. Just you wait.
