Egalitarianism
I can’t remember when it started. I can remember male bashing when I was very young. Since then, there have been a long series of confusing and frustrating events.

Progression Of Awakening – The Loss of “I”

Steampunk Snowboard Preview
Nino and I have been working all evening on the Steampunk Snowboard. I hope to demo it tomorrow at A-Basin. I intend to get a run in down the bunny slope. Anyway, it’s late and I’m tired. I just wanted to post a couple of pics before bed.
You’re A Social Media What?
I’ve struggled with some job titles in the past. Occasionally I would be filling a new role that related to some emerging tech and have the challenge of trying to tell people what I was doing in as few words as possible. About the time I would finally settle on something I thought fit, I… Read more »
