Hi! I’m Keith.
I'm trying to increase the length and quality of human time ('timespan'). I aim to do this by learning about and testing ways to live better, whilst building things people want. I'm also discovering secrets, travelling, and enjoying myself along the way.
This website is a place for me to document what I'm working on and share what I've learnt. Most of the ideas on this site aren't my own. Rather, they are synthesised from my exploration of topics that interest me. I do this out of self interest as I try to increase my own 'timespan', and because I'm a nerd.
My writings are oriented around assisting others to increase their timespan. These may be incorrect, biased, inconsistent or all of the above. But by sharing my learnings, I may eventually add something new to our pile. Hopefully, you’ll find it useful as well.
