I believe the following:

1. Code IS art.
2. My goal is to constantly become a better "artist".
3. Language, platform, and technology are just implementations of concepts. First, have a good understanding or idea...the code will follow!!

I love all things San Francisco and C#/ASP.NET and nerd out waaaaaay too much. Catch me out and about and I'll buy you a pint and demand we reminisce about development days of old before popular IDE's.
