Why subscribe?

Welcome! This is a little newsletter written by someone who loves technology but hates technology bullshit. And there is a lot of technology bullshit today. So as someone who loves the potential of technology to make the world better (seriously, I am a self-taught programmer and changed my major from pre-law after I fell in love with the engineering class my university made me take), I want to make sure the charlatans and finance-bros don’t get the last word on what technology can and should do for society.

I also love books and hockey, so you will see some reviews and musings on the intersection of sports on society mixed in, as well as some random thoughts on my own sad writing dreams (I mainly write sarcastic little stories about killing monsters and fighting capitalists). I hope you enjoy and if you do, you share!
