about this blog

I am Alex Priest. I am a DC technologist, marketer, social media user, designer, student, professional, entrepreneur, and more. I love to learn, create and explore. I want to have good stories to tell when I'm old.

This is my unofficial free space. I'll post things I like, things I design, and a little of what I learning along the way. Enjoy.

The disparity in questions about jobs reinforces the notion that reporters aren’t always tapped into the issues most pressing for the general populace. The almost complete lack of questions about education is just depressing.
