The Gate

Developer Programmer Coder These are some labels that describe the people I admire. The type of person I see myself being and want to be. For the longest time it felt like that title has eluded me. I never had any formal computer science classes. All of my programing skills and knowledge has come from trying things on my own or through tutorials. I have had people through the years reach out and help as well. … »

Finding my voice

This blog has largely been inactive with the occasional post but now I intend to change that. Finding my voice as a writer is an exciting prospect to me. I think of this blog as a blank canvas something for me to share my ideas with the world. My small corner of the internet I have ownership of.

With the “water cooler” of the Apple community in disarray people are looking towards alternatives. … »

I’m finally getting back into podcasting again! It has been something I have missed so much since I had to let it go. I had an Apple themed tech podcast called Everyday Robots with a good friend of mine Mark Fransen.
