A few things I believe in
Everything is Interconnected.
Software is modern magic. An invocation within a terminal can change the quality of someone's day.
Reading forms a deeper awareness of the people, products, and world around us. Indeed, it forms a deeper awareness of ourselves.

I'm on sabbatical with my wife, exploring the East. When I'm not writing prose, poetry, or code, I'm strolling through cities, hiking through forests, and wandering through my imagination.
