I've felt for just about my entire life that many things in this world are designed rather poorly. Since about 1995 I've been doing something about that. I started out designing websites, then moved to web apps, desktop and now mobile apps, with a bunch of other things strewn in between. My credentials say I can call myself a Cognitive Engineer, but most people don't know what to make of that. I also dabble in graphic design and artisanal mixology.

 

I try to use products and services that are designed with intelligence, consideration, and passion. My platform of choice is built by Apple, but I'm a general technology nerd and I like to play with shiny new toys, and then usually try to make them better.

 

Aside from things that require me to sit in front of a screen, I'm an avid baseball fan, college football fan, tennis player, and music connoisseur. I also enjoy many beverages that are fermented as well as some that aren't. 

 

Since that surely isn't enough, I also like to write (often at length) about all the things I've just mentioned, so that's the sort of stuff you'll find here.
