I create problems for myself and then solve them. It is my longest running hobby.

Highlights of first experience in tech the summer before college: - macromedia authorware. devs nicknamed it awfulware. - there was a slide in the office. my wallet chain got caught on it. - localized printed user manuals. output as .ps files. burned cds to mail to printer - paid internship. $9/hr. still higher than today’s national min wage.

Corporate leadership selects for people who rapidly adapt to changing conditions. And once you’re deep in that game, it becomes your primary value system.

Yeah, gotta keep it amateur and rough around the edges. Professionalization makes things boring.

Closed the twitter account I had for 18 years. Early posts were things like “need more coffee.” Such simple innocent moments, looking back. Funny how networked life potentiates both foreverness and ephemerality. The trivial and banal become permanent, but the personal connections and traces of meaning disappear in a click.
