I like to build things. I'm a member of Oakland's SudoRoom and am learning 3D printing there as well. http://www.sudoroom.org


One thing that is very precious to me is my time. I'm constantly setting boundaries so that I can focus on achieving meaningful goals. I'm getting better at being nice about this. <3

* Do not talk endlessly to me about some neat start-up or amazing projects or websites for kickstarter projects, it is especially offensive if you are not involving me directly in your project. There are other people who have the time to help you promote your kickstarter project. '''you should pay them. it's called marketing''' <3 Marketing usually costs ''more'' than inventing something and producing it. You do not "deserve" millions of dollars becuasey ou can produce a decent hack. Most of the reason people get millions of dollars is because they are strong product, not technology, people and plow a lot of money into marketing and advertising. Often the toughest thing about making a great software or hardware product is making something that is stable, bug proof and sustainable that a team of non techie people can work on without you. Great product companies are run by people you consider boring suits and office slaves who do all the sh***work you feel you are too smart to do. great companies are borne of QA people slaving away and doing the crap and not getting any glory.  It is about people like me who evangelize and tell everyone how great you are and eat dinner with people even though we are tired, and work with conservative people so you don't have to. ROCK ON

* Do not try to use me to advertise a private company /restaraunt / non-profit / political organization. If you are being paid to do so please provide full disclosure.

Personal Philosophy

I go to hackerspaces because I love hacking stuff and making things. We do not really fit into regular society, are temperamental and weird, but gee, we love to make things! And we'd still be into tech even if it wasn't making no money. we're losers who got confused by modern economies.
