Love you bunches!

Welcome to justlikegrapes.com! I’m Steven, and this is my little corner of the Internet.

There’s no telling what all I’ll write about here, but you can expect topics to include music, art, technology, software development, woodworking, community, my philosophy of life, open culture, and parenting among other things.

Links features other websites and people that I find interesting or important.

Enjoy your time here, and don’t forget to be awesome!
