The cat on the left is a larger brown/black striped mackerel tabby with clear green eyes and a bright white chest and feet. The smaller cat on the right is dark grey with shining green eyes and a diamond-shaped patch of white fur on her chest. Meet Henry and Diamond.

Political Junkie. Pragmatic Liberal Democrat and unapologetically Black. I'm an atheist who ironically is also an admirer of Jesus. I have a wide variety of interests: science, technology, outer space, fitness and classic American Lit. I'll read anything Hemmingway or Vonnegut. I'm an entrepreneur which keeps me extremely busy, but I use laughter to get me through my long days.

I've contributed a few things, instigated others, and still believe in the positive potential of technology. If the internet is broken, I probably had a hand in it (mea culpa). I still believe we can fix it.

Believer in the good in people, in the power of communal action, in personal responsibility, and in reaching out to the other side to find common grounds.
