User:Vidoqo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Eli Rector. I am a Kindergarten Teacher living in Southern California with my wife and two daughters. The name "Vidoqo" comes from an art project in which I took photographs of my younger brother, Josiah, in which he went about Seattle, WA in a suit and red sunglasses posing in various dada-esque activities. I then put the pictures in a children's book and replaced the original text with random snippets from an obscure homosexual Russian love story by a local Seattle author. In one picture, my brother is seated at a table in the Greenlake branch of the Seattle library, reading from, "I Am Vidocq", by Vincent Mc Connor. Mistaking the title name, I called my book "I Am Vidoco". Transformed into the mean of the two, the name Vidoqo stuck.

I am currently fascinated with the root of assumptions that inform liberal & conservative, red & blue, religious & agnostic, etc. These seem to boil down to perspectives on relativism & free will, from which notions of personal responsibility and moral truth ultimately emanate.

And yes, soup.
