I am especially interested in history, technology, woodworking, music, and connections between people. Liking history means I am fascinated by where we have come from and how we have become who we are (individually and collectively). Technology has always fascinated me, from disassembling my grandmother's non-working desk lamp to see if I could fix it as a child to maintaining Internet application servers as an adult. I've designed and built bookshelves, beds for my children, a pantry cabinet for a kitchen, and jigs for making other things in my garage. While I have played trumpet and a bit of guitar, I only really understand enough about music to know how to make those instruments occasionally make a non-offensive noise and when I like the noise I hear other people make. I believe we need to interpret the English word "humankind" literally and be "kind humans."

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Le soleil n'oublie pas un village parce qu'il est petit. Le patriotisme, c'est aimer son pays. Le nationalisme, c'est détester celui des autres. Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.
