I’m a big fan of any F/OSS software. I’m self-taught in software and I can’t take all the credit for learning on my own, I wouldn’t be where I am today without all the amazing individuals contributing and sharing their time, software, and various resources. You can find some of my open source projects here.

Pick an arbitrary, stupid goal. Become totally involved with it and pursue it with vigor. And what happens to you in that pursuit is your life. Understand it’s stupid, but it’s not stupid to pursue. It’s the way to inject meaning into your life. Otherwise you’re left with this, ‘why bother?’
