Part time philosopher, full time coder. I dabble in many things. One day I will probably write half a novel about it.

I'm not much of a photographer, but I like to play one on Instagram.

I’m Here Originally released to the public for the first time at 2010’s Sundance Festival, I’m Here is one of my favorite Spike Jonze films. Jonze is commonly known for the bizarre and wonderful film, Being John Malkovich. Musician Sam Spiegel also deserves a nod for the gentle and moving soundtrack. This short film was funded by Absolut Vodka, but beyond that there are no other noticeable commercial ties. It is based on Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree, and uses two human-like robots as the romantically entangled subjects. From wikipedia: The filmmaker depicts each dismantling of Sheldon as a contribution to a deepening relationship, the two dynamics (destruction and growth) being inversely proportional over the course of the film: the lesser “he” becomes the more “they” become. You can watch it here.
