As we creep up on the end of the year, I'm creating an
#introduction post because .. apparently I didn't have one :)
I'm Dawgeth aka Matt. I'm a husband, dad, software architect, engineering manager, tinkerer, gamer, and generally curious person who has a hard time leaving well enough alone.
A few things you'll find me talking about:
#Technology - Software architecture, engineering, automation, and figuring out how things work.
#Linux - Self-hosting, homelabs, open source, and running services just because I can.
#Gaming - Steam, GOG, Xbox, and more .. I bounce around a lot!
#Programming - Building little projects, experimenting with new ideas, and occasionally turning a five-minute problem into a weekend project.
#Politics - Hanging out on the left, progressive, interested in local government, civic engagement, and making things a little better for everyone.
#Community - Building spaces where people feel welcome, whether that's online, in the neighborhood, or around a table.
#Makers - Small business adventures, creative projects, crafting, and supporting people who make things with their hands.
#Gardening - Growing food, learning as I go, and maintaining the illusion that I know what I'm doing in the garden.
#Family - A big family, a busy household, and plenty of reasons to appreciate the little things.
I'm a firm believer that curiosity is a pretty good way to spend a life. I have too many interests, too many projects, and probably too many browser tabs open.
Happy to meet new people, exchange ideas, talk shop, or just enjoy the occasional bit of internet nonsense.
Here's to another year of figuring things out!
i'm working on an rpg about food! your party is comprised of a chef, baker, and barista, and you fight by cooking! and also whacking things i guess.
i'm making all the art and music myself! with some advice and tips from my partners of course
