This blog (zentastic.com) is my (Shannon Larratt) generally personal blog where I ramble about whatever I feel like that day. Much of it was imported from my original blog which was hosted at iam.bmezine.com (”glider”, although I’ve since been deleted and banned from that site by the new staff for some unknown reason).
I’m a programmer, writer, and artist that you probably know best because of BME, the body modification website I ran from 1994 until mid-2008 (where I also maintained a body modification blog called MODBLOG and managed a a cool body modification wiki/encyclopedia — again, both of which I’ve now been banned from, even though the vast majority of the content was created by me). You may also be here because of Uvatiarru, a movie I’m currently producing, or possibly from the military photo site I maintain, UnderMars. Or maybe it’s because of my kit car and homebuilt vehicle site? Perhaps it’s due to peanuts that look like ducks? Maybe you want a sportscar for the snow?
You may also know me as the designer of the first Internet Casino (featured in WIRED, etc), the technical creator of the VoiceBBS software, a revolutionary and influential telephony system, and co-creator of the concept. If you’re very old, you may also know my work with SciFAX, a compute-fax interface that predates the popularity faxboards and could be argued to be their precursor. Early on in my programming career I also wrote the first published VGA video game, as well as creating one of the few trojans capable of destroying computer hardware (by creating a feedback loop in sound cards).
I do lots of stuff… If you’d like to reach me you can do so at snowrail@gmail.com.
You can also visit my girlfriend Caitlin.
Here are some pictures from the last half decade or so.

(: i love how your involved in so much, I’ve only recognized you from BME. Your life seems so interesting, I’ve only known about bits and peices’ from the last 2 years, and only recently stumbled upon your blog (not stumbleupon, its just my wording).
i hope one day to meet you, maybe when i move to Canada.
Btw i love your painting style,and especially the cards you send to people with rhymes. so clever..
I also only “know” you from BME and wanted to let you know that since the “takeover” at the very beginning, I’ve stopped going there and let my account expire. BME isn’t BME without glider. I love reading about your adventures with Ari (heck, I remember your first blog entry when she was born!) and LOVE the pics of the food. Keep going on!
SHANNON IS BME !!
After everything that happened at BME and IAM i cancelled my account. I’m so glad to read your blog here :) Good to see you Shannon :)
When you run BME I visited the site every day. Since your gone I hardly visit the site. Cool thing I finally found your blog. Keep the good spirit going :)
Peace
I did first know of you through BME, as I was an active part of the community since 2001. I enjoy the whole of your work, however, and am now an avid reader of your blogging and especially fond of your painting. you are so talented and your life seems to be pretty positive. keep it up!!!
BME WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!
I MISS YOU THERE!
I remember Shannon from High School. Dude, you still owe me an Adlib card. j/k ;)
