At this very instant I am...

Living in Minneapolis, where I enjoy walking, biking, or canoeing to get to where I want to be. I attend events around the Twin Cities and I'm frequently at various local bars and breweries catching up with my neighbors and friends! I'm still sad that the Twin Cities Code Camp has ended.

Working for Crate & Barrel on modernizing (read: distributing) their ecommerce system, where I get to work with a bunch of fantastic people!

Researching distributed systems architectures. Distributed systems are hard.

Reconsiering some of the classic design principles - SOLID, ACID, and the like. Are they still relevant (answer: probably) and in what ways? How has our perception and use of them changed over time? This was going to be my book club topic last month, but I got distracted by ORMs. If you've got any thoughts on this, you should contact me, and if you want to see what I come up with then you should subscribe to my book club!

Practicing my skills in pool and billiards. Snooker is my favorite sport, and while I don't have easy access to a table in Minneapolis, I can practice other cue sports.

Wondering what else I could include on this page and how I might keep it up-to-date.
