README First

Well, here we go again. I’ve decided to start a new blog to consolidate a whole bunch of mostly technical stuff I’ve written about as well as to cover new things. Primarily, this is a personal blog, and I’ll be covering the things I’m interested in:

• I’m a Ruby on Rails and iOS developer. I’ve been writing code professionally in various languages for 10+ years. I’d estimate at least 4 or 5 for Ruby, and probably longer in Objective-C.

• As a long-time hacker, I’ve recently (over the last two years) gotten interested in electronics. I’ve been building small-scale things using the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi.

• About four or five years ago I started volunteering at a local Habitat for Humanity affiliate, and have since been actively involved there in renovating a 10-unit former convent into affordable condos, along with other construction projects. Recently I bought an 1890’s farmhouse and I’ve started restoring it.

• And plenty of other things: I’m a science (and space) geek, occasional MTG and boardgame player, and devops enthusiast.

I’m available on Twitter if you’re interested in interacting more directly.
