Ep64: What is your legacy?

Do you care if you are remembered? Do you think about your legacy and what you will leave behind? Dr. Erwin Warkentin and I discuss the meaning of legacy.

This episode features a conversation between Dr. Warkentin and I on the meaning of legacy. We discuss how somethings you do or people do are like DNA and they go into the fabric of our very existence. We talk about our families and how people try to leave things in stone on buildings and even then, everything we do is purely ephemeral.

I also feature a piece of writing titled "The things we leave behind" which is about the day I found out my father passed away.

It started with late nights, glue sticks, and a university newspaper / radio.

That early obsession with how words reach people took me from student journalism to a career spanning the globe. I’ve gone from designing newspapers and having radio shows to building systems at BioWare (yes, the RPG legends), managing data at MySQL, and now leading tech at Supermetrics in Helsinki.

But at my core, I’m still that geek who believes writing is just code for the human mind.

While a computer chip executes code exactly, your imagination runs stories based on your own unique wiring. Tales under the cat tree is where we run those programs together. Whether we're exploring the fiction that inspires us or the tech that defines us, my goal is to spark your imagination and—most importantly—never make you go "meh."

Words create the worlds we live in. Let's explore them.
