I worry about #GlobalWarming. I like #FreeSoftware. I think personal physical and digital #Privacy is an important goal. I blame cars as one of the major cause of our environmental and social problems and think cities should be #CarFree. At times I have enjoyed reading #ScienceFiction and #Fantasy though have been too busy since becoming a #Parent.
