Articles, Reviews, Old Columns, Papers, other Stuff
I like everything. This results in being interested in almost everything. Serial interestedness has resulted in pages started, abandoned, and ocassionally revisited at blogspot, Google+, tumblr, Stumbleupon (that took awhile), Wordpress, Posterous, Pinterest, Twitter, Houzz. And yet, strangely, not every person who has my name is me. I am not on Facebook and I don't hang out on usenet. Neither is my cat.
The left brain me breaks software. It's a calling. I figure out what the software should do, all the ways it can break, write automation to break it, and then some knight arrives in shining armor to fix it.
The right brain me thinks this is important and will change the world. Actually, I think anything can change the world -- it's the intention that counts. The right brain me also thinks about stuff during those short snatches of time while software compiles and deploys, and while automation runs. Some of the things I have thought about appear below, in no particular order.
What matters: Love more than power, respect more than affection, forgiveness where it is wanted, and good will where it isn't. Speaking one's own truth where there are ears to hear it. Bearing silent witness where there is none. Not giving up on the people we love. Forgiving ourselves when others can't.
