Hi ✌️ from the Catskills where I'm re-wilding a few acres. I love making things on computers, and I also love nature and learning to care for it. Balance is everything!

Back with tech hot takes in a bit, for now, a deep breath of fresh air.

If you're overwhelmed by everything to learn and keep up with, shift your focus to noticing what lights you up and makes you feel curious.

So easy to let moments slip by as unimportant, but it's not a waste of time to enjoy being human. It's critical to creativity, and foundational to learning.

Before my Goodbye 2024 Reel (what a beautiful year) I feel like October has to have a little special highlight of its own. Tried to capture the vibe: from celebrating a very special day 💖 to beautiful adventures with dear friends, and the many joyful things in between. October is my favorite.
