I was recently asked what my goals for the next year were, and I gave my usual response that I’m waiting until the 15th to pick them to keep some separation from my goals and the vibes of New Year’s resolutions. (An idea I stole from the two weeks I would stay away from the gym each year to let the traffic calm down.) But I gave a poor explanation in the moment and wanted to formalize some of the ideas here so that I can give a better and more coherent response next time.

Hi there, my name is Jay and this is my corner of the Internet. I’ll use this blog mainly as a dumping ground for things that are interesting to me and for documenting progress on projects, both personal and professional. I like computers, coffee and chess. But what I love most is solving puzzles. Coming from a background in architecture, I have a great appreciation for functional design and the impact it can have on us as people.
