About me

This blog is not about me. I hope it is more important than that... to someone.

My work

The greatest promise of computers and the Internet is the voice they offer to each and every individual. Within this environment, there need not be age, race, sex, ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, or even language barriers. Allowing corporate monoliths to control the use and application of such powerful tools is risky, as anyone who has followed the debate over Net Neutrality knows. Allowing such organizations to mold how we view modern technologies is on par with sin in my mind, as it seals the fate of a beautiful monster of limitless potential, relegating it to the status of an apparatus for propaganda and advertising, and designates for it the dark fate of television and radio.

Taken from my first blog post: "Argument for the Adoption of Linux in American Public Schools"
