Software For Fun
This site a scrapbook for my intellectual hobbies. Rather than hide them on my harddrive, I’m putting them online for 3 reasons: First, I wanted to learn how to make a website (check). Second, its freely available for any interested parties to read about. And third, when you publicly broadcast your work, it makes you do your work better because the false belief that people care enforces a higher level of self-scrutiny.
So that’s the point of this website. Welcome! Visit the About page if you want to learn more about me, or go straight to my Projects or Blog.
