I’m : a programmer, writer, podcaster, geek, and coffee enthusiast.

Reblogged from Dan: “All of my user generated content suffers from a peculiar source of gentrification. I’ll start out by thinking, ‘Gee, this will be a place I can post stupid things. After all, who will ever read it.’ Then I will learn that people actually read what I’m writing. Suddenly I feel bad about posting stupid things. Now I need to put more thought into what I do. The stupidest things get cut—and the quality standard goes up. Perhaps more people read it. Next thing you know my internal quality standard has gone up so much that I can’t write anything that meets my own standards. I need to find a newer, darker part of the internet to pollute.”
