The interesting stuff is in the boundaries. More species live on the edge of the forest that in the forest or in the meadow. That where I like to explore.
For example, while I like coding and content, its is creating new "media" that is the most interesting. It is in these new media that we can tell a new story that other media don't allow because of their limitations.
So I do IT. I read Marshall McLuhan and branding books. I write websites for my personal projects and remodel my house without contractors.

- HEMS is my best ColdFusion programming work and yet it uses no databases. A professional content management system used to publish a 10,000 page site. Trying to find the time to convert it to Ruby and release it open source. (2000???)
