Hello World

Essentially, this site is a digital notebook. I use this space to explore anything I find interesting or worth reflecting on; as such, some posts will be more polished than others. You can find my writings on the blog page, and the now page is short summary of what I am currently focused on(it needs some work). The now page is inspired by Derek Sivers' now page movement.

Quick facts about me

I was born and raised in Gweru, Zimbabwe. Last May, I graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. in Computer Science. Currently, I am based in Illinois, USA, working at MulticoreWare.

Why I am writing here?

I have chosen to host these thoughts on the open web partly as a rebellion against the social media format, and it feels good having some real estate on the internet.

A parting quote:

"'Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I am human. Not one single truth has ever been arrived at without people first having talked a dozen reams of nonsense, even ten dozen reams of it, and that's an honourable thing in its own way; well, but we can't even talk nonsense with our own brains! Talk nonsense to me by all means, but do it with your own brain, and I shall love you for it. To talk nonsense in one's own way is almost better than to talk a truth that's someone else's; in the first instance you behave like a human being, while in the second you are merely a parrot! [...] Well, and what's our position now? We're all of us, everyone one of us without exception, when it comes to the fields of learning, development, reason, experience, and every, every, every other field you can think of, in the very lowest preparatory form of the gymnasium! We've got accustomed to making do with other people's intelligence - we're soaked in it! It's true isn't it? Isn't what I am saying true?' cried Razumikhin..." — Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
