Obligatory Hello World post. Welcome to my blog!

I'm a software developer and yeoman homesteader who's come to understand that there are no political solutions to the technocratic dystopia now facing the Western world. This website is an anthology of how I'm dealing with that reality, and moreover, how I feel these two particular skillsets (homesteading and software development) are uniquely poised to navigate our current societal, spiritual, and monetary predicaments.

Of course, they're not the only two skillsets capable of altering the trajectory of mankind's rapid descent into despotism. But they're the ones I'm most familiar with, so that's what I'll be writing about.

A little more about me:

• Some of my past writing has been syndicated on InfoWars and ZeroHedge (to give you an idea of my ideological proclivities)
• Most of my professional career has been in the cryptocurrency industry, which I now believe to be largely a scam
• I really like amateur radio (Ham, GMRS, MURS, shortwave, etc.) and will likely write about it from time to time
• I'm trying to get better about sharing knowledge and skills with others, so expect a smattering of tutorials and reviews alongside geopolitical/macrofinancial ramblings
• The Free Software movement is really cool so I'll probably post about it
• Unabashedly Christian and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior
• ...but also a Taoist sympathetic, so make of that seeming dichotomy what you will

That's all for now. Until next time!
