In Toronto, working at Amazon.

Spending much of my time trainning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am coming up on a year of training and am loving it. I have done Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai in the past, so this is my first forray into grappling. It fits my temperment perfectly. I found that I did not like the performative (read non combat) aspects of Tae Kwon Do. And I don't have the aggressive instinct and willingness to hurt that Muay Thai needs. I have started competing and plan to contiue doing so.

I am thinking of and working towards more independence in life. Derek Siver's tech independence post has been extremely useful and catalyzed actually setting up my own server. I didn't follow it exactly. I decided to use Arch Linux instead of OpenBSD. I do most of my programming in Rust for making personal tools and wanted an OS with better support for that.
