À propos de moi
CURRENT MISSION
Scale couches, drink beer, befriend plants and animals
ABOUT ME
People, the pursuit of knowledge and experience are the most valuable things to me. Sharing laughter with someone new or having a fruitful discussion about something--anything--is something I actively seek. It brings me to this site.
I do technical web stuff by trade, but I surround myself with people that are either:
- open-minded/free-spirited
- suffering affinities for THE ARTS
- self-aware/intellectual/self-suspicious
- obnoxiously hip / poorly dressed
- not actually people, but instead dogs or cats
- "characters"
PHILOSOPHY
Hmm. Mainly, I try not to assume too much about what I know or can know. When you really buy into that kind of thinking, things like human compatibility and (or) that feeling you get looking at mountains become the most sacred things in life.
Also, I distrust "faith" - it's belief in something 1) unknowable (definition of faith) 2) we would prefer to be true. That's a good recipe for 1) being wrong, 2) reasoning contaminated with bias, 3) alienating others. Suspending conclusion is humility. Be humble!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
My first reaction to this prompt: 2007--Watching the Perseid meteor shower through the thin atmosphere at 10,000 ft in Yosemite during overnight camp in high country (every 15s we saw thick, slow streaks of many different colors) - substances were involved.

I can offer up sagacious morsels related to the voodoo of building/managing/marketing websites.
