My hope for this site is that my thoughts and experiences find their way to those who can make use of them. I've been a professional software developer and amateur photographer since 1999 and an amateur musician for nearly 20 years. I have done a fair-share of paying gigs and teaching, but nowadays, I spend most of my music-related time in my home studio. Most of my writing will fall into the main site categories, but I also enjoy reading, running, and auto-racing, so look out for posts on each of those from time to time. Enjoy.
