First Post

So I have been meaning to start a blog for a while. This is my first post! I'll be using this blog to talk about the following things. A list I will expand as I tackle specific topics:

  • Technology. I'm a computer scientist by education, software developer (of the sub-types software architect, systems programmer) by trade. I have major problems with how modern computing is designed. Also sometimes politics in technology (like the gender gap). I will likely dissect some of my own work in technology (with very technical articles).
  • Politics. I lean left-libertarian, while still preferring capitalism as a larger economic system. As part of libertarianism I support the idea of a basic income (to combat growing automation). I like the intersection of technology and what it could do for libertarian activism (open source, 3d printing, collaborative infrastructure). I would also identify as a feminist.
  • Etc: I do 3d graphics, hence stuff on art and procedural generation. I like and make games, hence stuff on the game industry. I identify as atheist, so a bit on that.
