Fuck Face­book

Some days it feels like I’m a part of a trav­el­ling cir­cus, bounc­ing from one place to anoth­er, jug­gling var­i­ous roles and respon­si­bil­i­ties. I’ve been on the road for just over 13 years now. I’m not some dig­i­tal nomad or wan­der­ing free spir­it or life hack­ing dig­i­tal dis­rup­tor. I’m a hus­band and a father who hap­pens to have a skill set that is uni­ver­sal­ly applicable.

It’s a ful­fill­ing job as I do not have a sci­en­tif­ic back­ground and am con­stant­ly chal­lenged to find new and inter­est­ing ways to inter­pret the data that is pro­duced by our scientists.

Dusk start­ed out as a way for me to wrap my head around the lat­est tech­niques for build­ing web­sites. It is pri­mar­i­ly a port­fo­lio site but it is also much more, a lit­tle back sto­ry first.
