About elsewares
'Elseware' is defined by Urban Dictionary as "the software you're using or writing while you're supposed to be doing something else". I had no idea that was a thing in 2009 when I first came up with the name for a web development company that consisted mainly of my Linux laptop on my dining room table. As a stay-at-home dad with a newborn, I was hoping to generate some income during naptime and after bedtime.
14 years, a stock market crash, and two pandemics later, elsewares.io stays alive and kicking.
About scoundrel.js
This site and the content on it is about distilling the wisdom (or lack thereof) I've accumulated over the years. It's also about sharing the next chapter in the saga and making connections. I will never be the next Zuckerberg, but maybe it really was about the friends and connections I made along the way.
