Mat does a lot of things besides riding his bike. He gardens and makes tinctures from plantains he grows. He makes washtub basses and other home-made instruments. He even butchers his own Thanksgiving turkey. And he's happy to tell you how he does all this stuff, but it's more than a manual. He says that he's "more of a story-teller than a straight up DIY guy." So when he tells he how he installed his own exterior spigots for his garden, he adds in some of his special little asides that add to the amusement factor; he claims he got his spigot outside working before he even got his the cold water in his kitchen repaired. He also admits that even though some people have told him that his how-to guides are more for "contraptions" that doesn't mean he doesn't know the specifics how they work. He knows how to solder copper tubing and his instructions are clean but amusing. There's some good zinester "why I do what I do"-style essays to round it out. Why couldn't school be like this? -LM
