My name is David Watson. I'm a creative person from a small town in Western Pennsylvania called Fallston. I went to school in the Beaver and New Brighton school districts before graduating from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.

I met my wife, Wendy teaching at Mars High School where I taught the drum line and she taught the color guard. After graduation, we lived in Boston and Seattle before returning to the Pittsburgh area, where I earn my living making software.

This site chronicles my ideas, photographs, music, and technology. I hope you find something of value here. If you'd like to collaborate, please contact me on Linked In or at the email address above. Thanks for visiting!
