People are out there Disrupting All Industries, Fixing Education, Saving the Environment. I salute the big visions. Me, I like to operate at the other end of the spectrum. The tiny things.

Just to prove that nothing blogged here is written chiseled in granite, with great shame I admit unpulling the fork I put in my facebook account in 2014.
