    Hello!

    I joined the SDF a number of months back but got more involved about 2 months ago when I upgraded to a MetaARPA membership.

    One of the things I just adore about the SDF is that, as a new comer, it seems to emphasize the creative, artistic and social aspects of computing rather than being yet another place for entrepreneur culture mavens to try out their new side hustle :)

    I have nothing against making money, but I fell in love with computers in the 80s because they were bicycles for the mind, and I want people to remember that :)

    I’ve been stumbling around the Boston area for close to 40 years now. I adore old computers, reading anything and everything I can get my hands on including but not limited to science fiction, urban fantasy and science/history.

    It’s neat that MetaARPA members get PBX extensions - it would be neat to organize a voice chat every now and then if there isn’t one already!

    Thank you to everyone who helps make this happen. I look forward to figuring out how I can pitch in helping to continue to make this place awesome :)
