Procrastinators vs. incubators. Yes! I am an incubator! It describes me perfectly. I’ve never been very good at motivating myself unless I have a concrete deadline staring me in the face. I don’t operate well with open-ended projects that just meander along. And when I pull the inevitable all-nighter to get stuff done, it’s always really good. Phew. I’m not the only one.

Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
