I am a programmer by trade. Friends and family have described me as a "renaissance man," although this label applies more to past me than present me. I have dabbled in things like: making my own beer; bread; toothpaste; growing my own herbs, vegetables and berries; DIY renovations around the home and more. I am a deconstructionist and I yearn for that sense of joy and wonder I had programming the Atari ST in University. I am interested in all things close to the hardware; but I toil away as a wage slave doing web programming. Please teach me. :-)
