Introduction 1

A bit about myself now...

(a bit odd)

I'm a father of one (so far!) in my early thirties. I'm enjoying experiencing the journey of parenting and family, working together through the thick and thin with my mate.

I'm probably my own worst enemy, and an expert at failing spectacularly at things from time to time... but I do get my wins as well, and enjoy the practice of hard work and tenacity when things get 'interesting.'

I enjoy and cherish the ideals of stoicism, buddhism and taoism, and do my best to stay well connected with the earth and sky.

I've been on the path of health and well-being since my mid-teenage years and have learned many interesting things in that field on the way.

I'm labelled an Aspie by the system as it is, though that doesn't mean much to me these days. Currently I'm aspiring to blueprint, publish and build a medium-scale open-source sustainable off-grid robotic farm and micro-factory complex - thought progress at http://althome.wikia.com - as well as building a cryptocurrency mining, consulting and management business.

drawing, piano, guitar, building most anything, learning new skills, bodybuilding, yoga, hoop, twirling, gymnastics, barefoot running and hiking, learning math, cycling, gaming, anime, sci-fi & fantasy, cooking... ramble ramble... I do enjoy a lot of things in life! The most meaningful nowadays is certainly seeing my daughter learning and growing with the environment around her... seeing her gleefully learning letters of the alphabet or exploring the keys of the piano or discovering her ability to jump is just amazing and unforgettable. One of my favorite things is sitting on the kitchen floor eating tinned sardines or mackerel in olive oil with some yummy sea salt... she'll point up to the tins and then sit down and pat the floor, beckoning me to share fish with her... it's wonderful :D
