My core principal is to help others. Doing the greatest good for the largest number of people is what drives me the most (and has for many years). My fields of interest are education, sustainability (especially energy, transportation, and food), and healthcare. The good news for me is that software and hardware can play a significant role in all of these… which is why I got involved with computers and software in the first place.

I also try to be as honest and self-critical as possible. How far will all this get me and those I can help? I hope to write more on that as time goes on, but it’s good to share a bit of the terrain and my motivations rather than travel in the dark to an unknown destination. -zs
