I’ve always loved creating new things. As a kid, I fondly remember making rafts for sailing on the local lake; and as a teenager, I enjoyed composing songs and poetry; and as an adult I’ve been drawn to designing computer software and writing essays.
This passion for creating things is also reflected in my essays on this blog, which are usually about creative work (and living) with a dash of history thrown in.
