(2009-present) Personal Projects

In 2009 I left Austin for a remote writers cabin in the mountains of North Carolina, with the intention of writing a book. That journey ultimately took me to California, Canada, Guatemala, China, Taiwan and Thailand.

My focus for many years was refining the design of several consumer electronics products. The original idea came after visiting the home of Lin Yutang in 2014, while living in Taiwan. He is known for his writing, but he also invented a Chinese language typewriter, which is the inspiration for a new series of human input devices. The research and technical design associated with those devices, along with exploring a few other ventures, required much time and effort over the last 10 years.

For now, the focus is on finishing what has become a series of books. As the story may bring with it a fair amount of attention, it has taken some time to get comfortable with the idea of sharing our story openly. However, the time has come...
