Renee's Questions

This is in reply to Renee’s questions.

What are your biggest fears?

I’m glad you asked that.

My number one, biggest, most real fear is the fear of tyranny. As in, I am very seriously planning to leave the country at my earliest convenience. I do not feel safe here anymore.

I’m also afraid of living out of a cardboard box. By far the most nervous time of my life I can recall was the time between when I graduated and when I got my job at Matterform. So I guess I have a fear of being unemployed.

I’m afraid of losing touch with my friends. I’m especially afraid of losing Alex.

Since I already know your dating status… what is your true dream (what do you truly want to do in life?) Is it what you’re doing now or something else?

Hard question. Here’s the current long term plan:

  1. Work at Matterform for at least another 2 or 3 years, while working in my spare time on the Clan Co-op
  2. Once the Clan Co-op becomes financially successful, make that my main job and sell development services to Matterform (I’ve already discussed this with my boss). This might entail moving back to Socorro.
  3. Once I have acquired enough wealth and prosperity to make it reasonable, move to New Zealand and “telecommute” to the Co-op

Now, there are several variations which I think would be even more excellent—like having the co-op “relocate” to NZ, and take all of us with it to a better life in a better place.

There are a number of other things I need to accomplish on the side though. I need to write a book about programming languages, for example, because that seems to be my central passion. I also need to learn to play the electric guitar. There’s a religion I wouldn’t mind learning more about. That kind of thing.

Hm… I’m having a hard time thinking of another one… if you could live your life over again, would you have done things differently?

I think I would have taught myself how to be a better long-distance friend. I would have gotten AppleCare on my iBook. :) I can’t think of too many things I would do much differently though. It’s mostly a function of my memory I think. :)
