About

I make things and break things, usually in that order. Currently somewhere near the water, probably with a coffee.

Interests

Coffee — The ritual of it. Slow mornings, a good grind, the smell before the first sip.

Video games — I grew up on them and never really stopped. Interested in games as a medium — what they can do that nothing else can.

Space — It's in the blood, it's the final frontier calling us all. The future of humanity is among the stars.

Surfing — Late to the waves despite growing up not far, but making up for lost time and enjoying it. Nothing else requires the same combination of patience, timing, and willingness to be humbled by something enormous and indifferent.

Sports — Almost all of them, baseball, both footballs, even Australian Rules Football

This site

A place to write and keep photos. The idea is that a website can be small, durable, and honest — and that those things are worth something.

Interesting wanders

Sites and corners of the internet I keep returning to.

• Low-Tech Magazine — runs on solar power; writes about low-tech solutions to high-tech problems
• Gone Walkabout — an older version of this impulse
• NASA News — still the best source for genuine awe
