Some personal news: Sarah and I (and Cheesesteak) moved to Boston earlier this year.
We've fallen more in love with the city since Sarah started grad school here a couple years back.
Looking for a space for Buddy Bindery & Press; and looking forward to meeting who's around!

I hope you're having a nice Christmas in your part of the world!

We engage in an evolutionary construction that continues a tradition started by our physical world long before we were here, and carried on into computing from its earliest days.
It's also a process that mirrors how creative, explorative work is done.
"I mistook a clear view for a short distance."
Too real! I've experienced this time and again.
But I'm reticent to encode a reminder to avoid this mistake in the future; my life has been filled with wonderful projects that I would not have embarked on had I not been so naive.
