I'm interested in phenomenology and existential philosophy narrowly as it pertains to being in general and to machines in particular. This coincides with my secular spiritual practice in a form palatable to a non-cultural but still western orientation. This allows for my cultural migration to a society that allows for gay sexuality and the possibility of not being defined by it, where I’m taking root. The very act of which was possible due to my unique upbringing, the psychology of which also interests me.
This and other things here and there you might find on this blog, the name of which speaks to how I think computers should or can be, philosophically speaking; plus it has my name in it. This is concretized in my work, on and off, developing an experimental programing environment. The integrated development environment (IDE) I’m using is Eclipse. I’m writing a plug-in for it that would eventually allow me to write in a Java virtual machine (JVM) language called Clojure, a type of Lisp or functional language that emphasizes immutability and a view on identity that hands-over control of concurrency to the machine and frees the programmer to write more enlightened code. The project is hosted here.
At work, I use my unique understanding to integrate human systems with computer systems using very simple “disposable” systems which might include clever but small software systems to automate processes, increase efficiency, and introduce transparency to ultimately magnify the great skills my consulting team has to offer in the area of project management in specific, and construction consulting in general.
But that’s only one faithful rendering of my manifested being in time. I am ultimately unrenderable as I’m ultimately an expression of the unmanifested.
