About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live a life that lets me spend 100% of my time on things I enjoy

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty modest guy that likes to see people working on something they care about. I'm on CS because I like to hear stories and have moments of understanding with strangers.

I make music and art with software, but I think at a creative level this is not so different from doing anything else that is interesting. Sometimes the music and art is about computers and how they are not so evil.
I also am a programmer for a open source projects including audacity.

PHILOSOPHY

hint: not buy or die

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A medium sized fish once jumped out of the water, slapped me on my face, and landed on my surfboard for a few seconds before jumping back in the water. I thought I was going to die.
