Addicted technologist. Like many others, I love to volunteer my time and effort for the right cause but instead, I'm often just searching for the right cause.

Invent invent invent. If money, food, peace, happiness... aren't getting to parts of the world it's because the economic and political machines are broken locally or internationally. Those machines only get fixed when people figure out how to mend their broken pieces. Sadly, inventions and insight don't come easily.

Adam Smith, Buddha, Jefferson, Jesus.

I'm not allowed to disobey as often as I'd like.

I mostly count conceptual journeys but I've schlepped the physical me to: Spain, Holland, Portugal, Andorra (oh my), France, Russia, Sicily, Canada, Mexico and about half of the United States.

Technology, big ideas, people who make new ideas work.

English, and when my daughter stops to teach me a new word, slowly improving pidgin Russian.
