now
who are you?
Really, I’m no one of any import. But for a while (roughly 2007-2020), I was in charge of the Arch Linux distribution, and helped drive it to the current fame along with many other invested parties.
I also play and make tabletop RPGs. I’ve published a supplement in print, though that was ages ago.
Aside from that, I’m big into fitness, lifting, and dabble in judo on the side. For a time I was the head moderator of r/Fitness but reddit itself became a little too toxic for my tastes.
I don’t update this page too much. I’m figuring out what my desired online presence looks like.
what are you doing now?
- training: lifting 3x/week, working toward my orange belt in judo, and trying to get my cardio up on the fan bike
- reading: Vagabond, The Last Horizon series, The Esoterrorists.
- playing: Absolum, Esoterrorists, Clues by Sam, Sleepaway
what do you think?
_idea stolen from Devon Zuegel’s “strong opinions, loosely held”
- Fuck ICE.
- Free Palestine.
- Eat the rich - there is no war but class war.
- All “AI” is garbage. Everything about it. There are no redeeming qualities.
- No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. - Socrates
- You don’t need to have an opinion on everything, as the internet encourages us to do. If your first instinct on learning a surface level fact is to react to it, try to pause and learn more first.
- Depend on skills, not tools. Learn how to do things, how to make things, so that when you don’t have perfect (or any) tools, you can still accomplish what you want or need to.
- Work can roughly be split into two categories: problem solving and rote execution. We currently live in a society where the former is lauded and seen as morally superior. Execution of repetitive tasks with excellence is missing from a lot of peoples lives and it would make all of us happier if we could split our lives between the two.
