My name is Russ Determan. TruerMadness is an anagram of my name (thank you Internet Anagram Server). TruerMadness.com is my blog. Until I have ideas worth writing about, this site will be primarily bazooka joe fan fiction.
I’m a computer programmer. A computer programmer is a person who uses an artificial language to encode instructions that guide a computer through a sequence of simple steps that take it from a starting state to a desired ending state, instead of maintaining proper daily hygiene. It’s a little hard to explain without Daft Punk music playing in the background.
I’m an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is a person who lives in their parents basement and works very very hard with their brother Jim on a business called FitDay until they sell their company and move to cambridge. Entrepreneurs are very grateful that their loving parents allowed them to live in the basement for a little too long. Some day entrepreneurs will make it back to their parents.
I’m interested in boat loads of stuff. Here’s a list in no particular order: arduino; agile development; artificial intelligence; awesome people; balance bots; berkshires; brewing beer; cambridge, ma; constructed languages; cooking; crows; dinosaur comics; django; eating bugs; eldercare; foldable bikes; linguistics; lunar society of birmingham; make magazine; mass customization; national geographic; node.js; paint-by-number; playing guitar; product design; puzzles; python; reading awesome books; running; sailing; startups; software architecture; technology; ubuntu; video games; web development. Ok, that was a little on the alphabetical side.
If there were any more to write, don’t you think I’d write it?
