So I have attempted a change in my own personal zeitgeist.  I’ve relinquished myself from the death-leash of Facebook and freed myself to a cyberworld that feels more 1999-ish.  I’ve also made the complete transition to Linux on my tiny, incredible overused-passed its expiration date- Toshiba netbook (now if I can just get my late nineties Canon printer to work, I’ll be set).  I’ve been reading, alot, in the meantime…and I’ve kept it fairly eclectic and at times contradictory. Here’s a rundown of my stack:

Leaning about life in Bhutan, Hemingway’s trans-gender son, the history of camping and back-to-nature societies in Great Britain, and Questlove’s analysis of the history of hip-hop.  When I am really bored I work on my computer programming, mostly Python and keep the wheels churning with an online MIT course, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming.

So there it is… I am a birdwatching hater of social media, who is learning to code, practicing meditation and mindfulness, and vigorously riding my private conveyance – my single speed bicycle.  Stay tuned…
