My name is Colin Powell, and I work and live in on the coast of Maine. If you’ve ever seen Hunt for the Red October, you could almost see my house in the last scene.
I was raised in the Chicago suburbs, but quality of life and family brought me East. This website is a place to post occasional thoughts about software, open source, and philosophy/agriculture. That’s kind of all over the place, but I don’t suppose I have to apologize.
More than the new new thing, my love for technology was born out of the old hacker mentality of finding a way to make that one thing do the thing it wasn’t designed to do. It’s part of the reason I love open source and lean towards older tech. Beyond that, I love sharing my passion for duct taping things together with anyone patient enough to follow my ramblings.
