constructing meaning from experience
My name is David Watson. I'm a creative person who lives and works in vibrant downtown Pittsburgh with my lovely wife, Wendy.
I make software. When I'm not working, I bike, drum, explore, hack, listen, meditate, photograph, run, ski, and think. Relaxation is not my strong suit.
I've been a secular buddhist and a moderate libertarian for most of my adult life. I'm inspired by Greg Lemond, Pat Metheny, and David Foster Wallace.
This site runs on digital ocean and chronicles my creative pursuits. I hope you find something of value here. If you'd like to collaborate, please contact me. Thanks for visiting!
