About Me - Sun, Jul 10, 2022
Hey there!
I’m glad you’re here. By the way some friends call me Rah. I am very human with a natural aptitude for technology and am passionate about learning and problem solving. When I’m not doing those things, I’m probably flying aircraft or being creative. I enjoy dance, screenwriting, songwriting, playing instruments, and linguistics. I’m also an avid reader and enjoy the outdoors with my loved ones. Gardening and growing food is also a sustainable practice I prioritize.
One of my favorite quotes is by Laozi or Lao-Tzu, the founder of Taoism:
“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him. But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: We did it ourselves.”

Many thanks to Chris McKenzie and Max Le Fou for their work on the BOOSTRA.386 theme- the inspiration for this site.
There’s a lot of stuff to learn, and it is perpetual. But I am never going to stop and nor should you. However, I realize there are gaps in available information and resources or in the way it is presented. I want to partner with you to help close those gaps.
