Hey there, I'm Nathan Regener. My "rock and roll" name is Nathan Black. Honestly I just like being called "Mr. Black". Pleased to meet you. I've got a lot of aspects to my life. I don't believe that any one thing defines a person, but rather you can take a moment in time, a day's slice perhaps, and take a reasonable core sample.
Hopefully this lens will provide that for you.

Things I've done
Just a sampling
- Visited Moscow on a Tae Kwon Do exposition.
- Been told "That was the nicest I've ever been kicked out of a club. Thanks!"
- Drove a 29 foot U-Haul truck full of giant neon signs from Austin, TX to Rochester, NY in two and a half days.
- In the year 2000 worked both on one of the most critically acclaimed games one of the best selling games. Those were Deus Ex and Barbie Pet rescue. In that order, unfortunately.
- Been a mascot for Austin's first all girl flat track Rollerderby league.
- Started skateboarding at the tender age of thirty. Breaking both my nose and my left wrist in the process.
- Put a guy in the hospital using my mad video gaming skills. True story. We were playing Super Puzzle Fighter II (still the best puzzle game of all time) and I get a huge combo and I look over and he is on the floor having an epileptic seizure. Freaked me the hell out. He recovered and I swore to only use my gaming powers for good from that day forward.
- Hosted karaoke for a year at Beerland, TX. Karaoke for Monday night drunks. My hope every night was to take it from a bunch of random drunks massacring songs to a bunch of random drunks having a crazy party and singing along.
- (way incomplete, adding things as I think of them)
