Outside of tech, I enjoy surrealist/fantasy writing, painting sunsets over a body of water, and taking pictures of the clouds.
I write, draw, and film occasionally. You can find me on most of the interwebs under the alias 'silkthyme'

"Whence came these two radiant, celestial brothers, united for an instant as they crossed the stratosphere of our starry window? One from the East, and one from the West."

My house must have a west-facing bedroom window (for gazing upon the sunset).
