 If
there's hope for humanity it's in software |

Find herein
a diary of sorts; a travelog of meanderings and musings; the movement of
body, mind and spirit of an evangelist. A technology evangelist. Preaching,
to be sure, but not of religion, unless technology is a religion.
Some might think so. Sometimes I do. Upon reflection I realize
such thoughts are just a function of too much wine after a hard day of
"Come to Java" meetings with the clergy developers who speak the arcane
languages and live in the abstract world(s) of software creation...lately
I've come to think that software may be the last, best hope for a species
otherwise doomed to live out its fundamental cultural premise of "conqueror,"
and stand proud while the Earth lies bleeding at our feet, only then to
realize that we really are all connected. A free, open internet,
free platform software, and a hegemony by community, consisting
of reasoned, simple, open interfaces - this is the right and obligation
of every netizen. It is to this growing online community that these
missals are dedicated; to us and the clergy hackers who bind us all.
