CURRENT MISSION Settling the question of place--searching for a city from where to lever the world and live the next decade ABOUT ME I'm a happy, ideas guy who wants to make beautiful things, especially on the web. Things that help many many, even a little. In the Bay Area I may have found exactly the place for me, but I'll know that only after finishing my journey across Japan, Europe and Canada. elzr.com twitter/elzr PHILOSOPHY I want to be the light I long to see in the world. Courage. Honesty, truth. Acceleration. Hedonism. Restraint. Selfimprovement. Selfknowledge. Kindness. Experiment!

Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
I'd love to help you however I can and are very generous by nature. Here's one fun thing I'd love to teach: toki pona, a language of 120 words made by Sonja Elen Kisa, a Canadian translator. A couple of thousand people around the world know it and you can learn it a day or two. Why learn it? Because having to speak in the simplest possible terms makes you think about what you really want to say. And because it's fun!
