I'm a world away now from the rice fields of Myanmar, sitting in my Nob Hill apartment in San Francisco with a night view overlooking the "Vertigo" hotel.    Techno blasts into my ears through my Sony studio monitors as I type these words... 2 months of outsourced/friend sourced apartment searching, 1 month of cleaning and furniture purchases later, I feel the experience of my time aboard and my years in startups guiding me into pursuing deeper personal goals that will change who I am fundamentally.  I no longer want to be limited by fear or emotion. I focus now on making the best of each moment, letting go of past, keeping my mind and my environment free of clutter, finding new and better ways to network with others and learn to be a better coder, a better business partner and a better friend.
