CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place, to thank those who have made it a better place for us, and to apologize for how ineffective I have been at not making the world better. Particularly now. Sorry world. But, I'm going to keep trying.

ABOUT ME

Imperfect, flawed, don't know as much as I should, but continually trying to improve. I try to try hard at that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People sacrificing to help other people, not unusual, but just beautiful. Other amazing things: couchsuring.com, the internet, and other people orientated endeavors. A colorful but often considered lowly barnacle sweeping in the current along a rocky underwater shelf in the Pacific northwest.
