the best way
to predict the future
is to help create it

mission statements can be so idealistic and overblown. sure, it’s great to shoot for the stars, but doesn’t it seem better to set goals that are more realistic? there are a hundred million things to do ~ probably a conservative estimate at that ~ exactly how does one boil it all down into a few sentences and still convey the full intent?

over the years, one of the most important things i've learned is that what we experience as reality is largely self-created. therefore, it was easy to latch on to the above quote when running across it at some now-forgotten moment. those of you who’ve known me for a long time have probably seen it nearly as many times as i’ve emailed you. to this day, it still wraps things up for me pretty succinctly.

this site is dedicated to the discoveries and creations that make up the world i live in. browse the links to websites by folk who seem to have a real connection to that world or read some of my own writings. consider the professional and artistic services offered through db design should any be something you have use for ~ as everyone well knows, patronage is essential to successful continuation of work such as this.
