About me

Hi, I'm Steven. I like computers, problems and using the former to solve the latter. I believe in elegance over adequacy, thoughtfulness over impulse, and in the wonder of the world as we can see it. I have been called a craftsman, an artist and a rocket scientist. Then again, I've also been called stubborn, abrasive, naive and lazy, and I can certainly see where those people were coming from.

Feel free to look around. I try to put only nifty things on this site.

Steven WittensMy interests include:
