It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale.

About
Cold brew in the morning, sushi at night. I married a Brazilian woman, we named our dog Pabu, and we live just outside DC — which sounds better than Virginia.
We travel whenever we can get away with it, mostly to eat. I over-plan the trips, under-finish the projects, and treat finding the right restaurant as part of the itinerary. Kitchens stress me out, which makes that harder to justify.
Lately I’m building a homelab I don’t strictly need. I only started enjoying reading as an adult and I’m still catching up. There’s more K-pop on my playlists than anyone expects. If you got the Pabu reference, we’ll get along.
