About This Site

About This Site

This is my personal blog. Most people know me as cricket.

I’ve been a bird breeder, bicycle mechanic, bookseller, and a Software Engineer at Apple for 20 years. I probably won’t make it to 21 years.

Friends and other people always tell me I should write down what I think. They claim I have interesting things to say.

You be the judge.
