Live in San Francisco along with my adorable corgi Jaz. I sometimes write SciFi/Fantasy, meditate, and play Magic the Gathering, but spend most of my time programming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meditated from the top of the mountain temple Kenchoji in Kita Kamakura, Japan. I could see across to Fuji and then the ocean. If I have to name just one thing, I think it's that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach people how to program, and my interest in learning Japanese has been renewed recently. Aside from that, I'm always interested in discoursing on philosophy and politics
