Time for an #introduction now that I’ve settled in mastodon.nz

Soon to be retired (at least for a year or two) Silicon Valley tech company technical sales leader for Asia-Pacific.

Relatively early adopter of the Internet thanks to attending University of Illinois in the late 80s - pre-WWW (Mosaic was after I graduated) and pre-Gopher even. Was an avid fan and user of Usenet.

Decentralized social media harkens back to those earlier days.

My various interests are in my profile.

Homemade flour tortillas are something I should have done a long time ago. I just kept eating plain tortillas while I was making them.
