I celebrate finding beauty in the details, in the abstract and in unexpected places. My mind is a repository of some the most obtuse trivia imaginable. It is also my sincerest belief that truly fiery hot sauce should be recognized as an essential food group. I have a knack for making tools work for me; whether it is a paintbrush, a pencil, a light or software, a jig-saw, a garden spade, a gadget , a hack -- or a technology.
