Personal Note: Thank you for visiting this blog and taking an interest. I created this blog for a number of reasons, but the biggest is my passion for computer science and the opportunities it presents. There are so many beneficial and creative technologies that are just waiting to be created – and there are amazing people out there ready to create them. People like you! However, we’re all temporarily limited by our current skill set. The solution is to help each other learn and achieve our goals. I’ve been lucky enough to work on a number of exciting projects and have gained some knowledge and experience along the way, and I want to share this with everyone as excited by our technology-driven future as I am. Whether you’re completely new to programming or a seasoned vet, I hope this site helps you out. By working together we can create some seriously awesome stuff and make the world a better and more beautiful place.

So take a look around, search for topics, and leave any questions or comments you have. If you’ve found this blog a valuable resource, please drop me a line and say hi! Thanks again!
