I created this blog to share my insights, learnings, and opinions.

I have been practicing mindfulness meditation and studying Buddhist thought for more than 10 years. I’m often inspired to share insights from these experiences and reflections.

I enjoy learning new things and learn most effectively when communicating what I have learned. Lately, I have been learning about immune-system strengthening, outrigger canoe paddling, adaptive/evolutionary economics, front-end development with Angular(x) and React, geospatial analysis, machine learning, transformational organizing, financial independence, fine woodworking, plaster slip-casting, vegetable fermentation, MOBAs, cannabis as medicine, and bluegrass/old-timey banjo.

I care very much about the health and happiness of the world and all the people, animals, and plants that inhabit it. This compels me to offer my opinions on policy, electoral strategy, and political theory.

I cook often, garden less than I would like to, and aim to have at least one good conversation with my spouse, close friend, or family member each day.

My favorite activities are surfing, paddling, cross-country skiing, yoga, making campfires, and dancing to hip-hop / electronic / pop music.

I post what I’m reading on Tumblr, my undeveloped thoughts on Twitter, my work status on LinkedIn, my code on GitHub, and my cat on Instagram.
