“The Open Source Presidency”

This is brilliant if you know the reference to the WWII poster. I immediately printed it out and slapped it onto my whiteboard. Maybe we can survive the meltdown if we use it as an opportunity to create and re-create. (And I just happen to have some projects in mind—muahahaha!)

A Green Field, A Cold Steel Rail

This strange and moving book is more than a good read - it’s an experience. Its young protagonist also reminds me of my own 12-year-old.

The Selected Works of TS Spivet

I love to explore the mountains and red rock desert wilderness of Utah. I’m newly single. I’m a political independent  and a proud moderate.  I’m a Mormon.
