This is my first post here, I have typically stayed off blogging in general even though I have a lot of things to say. I've been quite active on social media but it's earned me nothing but flak, People simply are way too self-absorbed and hopefully Steem will encourage more users to get out of making Facebook billions.
I'll elaborate on that lengthy title a bit, with a briefing about what I do without giving much away. I plan to stay anonymous until I figure out the kind of content that suits this community. And wow, MarkDown, I love it here already!!!
Free Speech "Fundamentalist
Mehdi R Hasan, the Al Jazeera journalist coined this term for anyone who thinks they shouldn't be policed on the internet. Damn right they shouldn't be. I suppose thats in the fundamentals of why Steem even exist and that's what brought me here. The moment problematic speech hurts investors, we see social networks rushing to get Orwellian around their moderation principles. I'm against that.
AR enthusiast
One of my earliest memories of AR was in Terminator 1, and several movies through to Iron Man. I've tried to mimic those systems by programming a motion capture sensor like the Kinect with good results, and we're about to head into the golden age of Alternate realities (more than Augmented) and I want a like minded audience to my ideas. perhaps those that will inspire my curiosity.
Ideas guy
I've got an ideas book where I jot down stuff that I dream up. these are ideas that I'd rather execute myself but I'm completely happy if they're around. I'd use them. Could use some suggestions and improvements from the community. Follow me and watch this space!
Crypto-governance advocate
Coming from a nation who's Income inequality is massive, to a country who has mostly suppressed the talk of it by throwing money around. I have some ideas of a form of decentralized governance that might align with the other Steemians, if they're civil libertarians like me. I have a huge interest in decentralized politics as well.
App developer
I make apps for all devices, of all platforms. I'm a former Windows developer. I used to make video games as well. 'nuff said!
And I wanna help!!
I notice there aren't any mobile apps around that help the users and content providers of Steem, maybe it's on the way, but I'd like to help. Give me ideas of what's needed.
That's it folks, let's see how I chug along here!
