A friend of mine recently suggested I join Steemit, and I had a look and thought hmmm, this is unlike anything I've done... so perhaps that means I should dive in and give it a whirl! Hello to all of you.

I grew up in Newfoundland, Canada, and I call Vancouver, BC, Canada "home", but right now I'm in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India for the winter. I came here mainly for the Ramana Maharshi ashram and the self-discovery - I'm very much interested in nonduality and meditation - but I'm also working while I'm here; I'm a digital nomad at the moment, a WordPress developer, and as long as I have a decent internet connection I can work from just about anywhere. I've been running into some challenges here with ergonomics and bandwidth - I got spoiled at the Hubud coworking space in Bali in October, which is superb - but on the whole things are rolling along alright.

I'm a musician as well. Last year I released a solo album under the name Metaspira, which you can hear at https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/metaspira or http://www.metaspira.com. (I'm seeing that there's some way to post tracks with something called DSound, but am not seeing an obvious way to do this; I'll try to learn more and save them for another post, I guess!)

While I've been traveling, I've been enjoying blogging about my experiences at http://www.measuringcoastlines.com, and posting pictures on Instagram. I suppose it's the modern scrapbook, something I can look back at as well as share with others.

I'm slightly intimidated by all the Steemit terminology (upvotes! witnesses! powering up and down! tokens! whut??) but I know the only way to figure it out and get the hang of it is to get in here and get my hands dirty and see what happens. So here I go. Ermagerd I'm going to hit the post button.... now!!
