My values, in this order:

1. Non-violence
• a/k/a, cooperation, ahimsa, "harm none", love
  
2. Economic and Environmental Sustainability
3. Democracy / Self-government / Egalitarianism
   
4. Individual rights of life and liberty
• Freedom to move about
• Freedom to be able to make friendly contracts at large and in public
• Freedom to decide for myself who I am, freedom to name myself, to define myself,
  
• Freedom to explore my own unique path, to seek the divine in my own way, to follow my own inner moral compass
• ...so long as I do not hurt another conscious person (a living creature with a beating heart, eyes, and a brain). See value #1.
  

Areas of my work:

• 

  Professional computer programmer (15 years), specializing in Unix, Perl, and Internet Protocol networking applications
  
  
• Writer, Radio + Television Producer
  
  
• Healing from my own suffering, spiritual practice, dharma studies
  
• Since fall of 2007, I've been studying of Buddhism, Yoga, Vedanta, and Sanskrit.
• Also, Law of Attraction (Abraham/Hicks), Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Toltec (Don Miguel Ruiz), Nonviolent Communictions (NVC) and most recently A Course in Miracles
  
  
• I no longer consider myself an activist. Creating my Mind-Model diagrams helped me see that we activists get ourselves into a "craving/aversion" affect which is the root cause of all violence and suffering in the world, i.e., we unconsciously are causing that which we are fighting against!
  

Current Active Projects:

• Trying to get O2E-TV off the ground!

• d/b/a/ Dirt-Cheap Web Design 607 : Getting back into doing some web-design, hosting, and consulting work,  Here is my latest project I did for my friend Justin Kovac: http://justinkovac.com . I am beginning to do more with CSS stylesheets for more interesting visual effects than is possible with straight HTML. I use primarily open-source tools, and design according to web standards. (Flash is a propritary format, and therefore not an open standard). Here's my rant: Anyone can design a site with D*eamweaver or Fro*page, but most of these sites I've looked at SUCK in terms of useability, accessibility, indexability / searchability, interoperability, and maintainability. If you want a quality website coded according to standards for maximum useability, contact me! PS: Anyone who claims to be able to guarantee Google Page Rank is either a) liar, or b) is confused about the facts. Sorry, I know that sounds harsh :) I'm just saying, spend your money wisely people!
