Nthing the "you are an inspiration" sentiment expressed here. This has reminded me that you should 'always be shipping'; always be doing stuff and making stuff.

What's your working environment like? You mention doing work for SI; is that at their offices or at home? I've been flirting with the idea of working part-time to pursue other projects in my spare time but I'm not sure I could hack being in a home office all day.

(And, if you don't mind me asking, how do you bankroll all this? Do you have a 'day job' per se?)

There's nothing fancy about it - I work on a laptop at home on an ordinary enough desk. (I couldn't afford to live in the Bay area.) I keep flesh on bone with random things and assignments.
