About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn and share. Embrace/build community.

ABOUT ME

I am dedicated to free open source technology development [basically technologies in which the "guts" are exposed so others can learn from them, improve upon them, and share those improvements]. I am also interested in community based food programs, cooking, cycling [I ride my bicycles a lot]...

PHILOSOPHY

I think that community is really a key to living life well, while I am not the most outgoing person, I am very giving and think that if more people are concerned with their community that everyone would have a more fulfilling life.
