How many coders, devs, programmmers, IT peeps, technical design folks are also musicians and/or seriously in pursuit of music lifelong? Curious to know as for more than 30 years in tech I see a lot of crossover.

While I used to be – and would love to be – a guitarist and occasional singer-songwriter, I’m more doing sound engineer duties as a bit of fun. BUT my guitars hang next to my desk now after years in storage, so I’ve started to play again.

I relate. I did get to record with local Indie labels. Kept in the Dark then Crash Landing Studios. My music career was kept in the dark then crash land hard into Web along with CLs @stevens_phil early HTML. No tables. No CSS, no JS. Mosaic and modems. 1994 was a hell of a year!

“Mosaic and Modems” is an autobiography title.

Eric I just caught that and yes you're right! Important to add it was an accessible web there was nothing in between us and the content!

Long Live Notepad! We were both windows at that point? Remember doing those backgrounds with your sister's watercolors when background images of skulls and eggs where are all the rage? We were way cooler and more imaginative. Do you do web ever? Or are the alpacas too demanding?

I've still got my fingers in the odd development project, and keeping the DevOps fires burning for friends, family, and a couple dozen clients in the nonprofit sector.

I'm really glad to hear you're still doing Tech. What about recording? You have a studio down in your upside down hemisphere? Still playing? I just had a flashback to your wedding when you both played violin or were you playing Viola? Totally loved that. So many great memories.
