I have been interested in computers for as long as I can remember. There is so much to learn and so little time. Over the years I've been building up a vast armada of knowledge -- there's an infinite amount of information to glean from the internet. I feel that I have learned enough to be dangerous, yet I still know nothing. The passion to learn about different programming languages and developer tools, and to solve problems at a pure logical level, has driven me to invest exorbitant amounts of time into reading and writing code. I love computers and have an almost magical intuition for using them, no matter what the system.

All of your generous donations will go directly to funding my free time, which is 99% likely going to be spent making my next big (or small) vision of software. I always have so many ideas and never enough time to put them into execution, and I hope to eventually accrue enough funds from my home-grown software to allow me to work less at a "real" job and spend more time doing what I love, for myself and for my users.

Reaching this sponsorship goal of a measly $75 per month will allow me to spend less time working and more time playing with new developer things. This is incentive and encouragement for me to finish the projects that I start, seeing the cash flow makes me feel free to spend more time programming, because I feel like I'm actually being productive and not wasting my time in front of a computer barely scraping by on minimum wage.
