I think of my studio as a vegetable garden, where things follow their natural course. They grow, they ripen. You have to graft. You have to water. - Joan Miró


Although it seems that in the shower or sleeping is where my best work actually occurs, my studio is mostly place where the shoe leather hits the pavement.

I studied wordworking for several years in college. I learned that an honest enthusiasm for the medium and attention to detail are the hallmarks of quality craftsmanship. The same things that make a nice peice of furniture nice also make for good software.

A good plan violently executed now is a better than a perfect plan next week.
- George S. Patton

These are things I've created — personal, business, pro, and hobby alike.
