I take a slightly different approach to software. I code for love of the craft, but it is also a means to an end. Software is a precise but organic machine which solves a specific problem.

I try not to get lost in the implementation details.

I try to collect real experiences in lieu of those on paper. I fold them back into my core competencies to develop as a {human|professional|coder}. Work, play, teaching, learning, living. All are facets of the same thing. From baking and Starcraft to travel and Aikido, I learn and grow. That is my mission; coding merely brings the bacon.

I am neither a generalist nor a specialist. I am not shaped like a 'T' or like any other letter of the alphabet. I am a complex, fractally human being and become more so with every waking minute.

I'm also pretty good at building things.

I like to work with my brain and my hands, but I'm better at the former.
