About: Remember "Kung Fu", the series with David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine? Caine travels America in search of something and we don't ever really understand what exactly that something is supposed to be.
Well, if America were a bunch of Virtual Ecosystems then I'd be Kwai Chang Caine.
In real life I work as a Producer for a Start Up which creates cools stuff for the denizens of said virtual ecosystems.
