By day, I'm a product manager serving a group of fantastic engineers at Square.
By night, I fight crime and solve mysteries with a robot pal of my own creation.

The book meme
“The past was dead, the future was unimaginable” From 1984 on [Stanza](http://www.pure-mac.com/iphone/docviewers.html#stanza) on my [iPhone](http://www.apple.com/iphone/) — so the page number is probably a bit [questionable](http://www.zellyn.com/2008/09/on-page-numbers-and-electronic-texts.html). **The meme** * Grab the nearest book. * Open it to page 56. * Find … Continue reading
