I previously built the community sites Techendo, MakerSpace, and the now defunct SchoolYard. I love building community. I also love tech, and I owe a lot to what this community has done for me. It's been there when I was alone, when I needed help, and when I wanted brilliant, likeminded individuals to collaborate with. I want to help make the tech scene better through creating a stronger community of people who want to inspire and help one another.

I want to create something with a real lifespan that pays forward everything everyone has ever done for me. I want to amplify all that is good and right with tech and the community that dug this loner outcast kid out of a very non tech- friendly area, helped him find something he could love, and gave him hope that he could build something beautiful.

If you want to help, check out what we're working on over at Baqqer[0]. Give me feedback about what you love/hate so we can build a strong community. I'm not interested in selling out, or colluding to drive any one particular message/theme/group. Tech can be better than this, and should strive to that end, and we should all support independent endeavors to make this as fun and fair for everyone.
