About Garren

I'm Garren Smith. I'm a software developer, and my wife and I homeschool our two kids. So that keeps me busy for the majority of my waking hours.

I'm also a tinkerer, a lifelong learner, and a collector of hobbies. So, on this blog, I invite you to share in my fascination with any or all of the following:

• Climbing and Bouldering (in the gym and in the great outdoors)
• Making Music – electronic music, music production, bass guitar, electric guitar, and figuring out the piano
• Photography – DSLR and drone
• Sojourns around South Africa
• Adventures in homeschooling and parenting
• Bullet journalling, second brain, and intentional living
• And yes, programming and software development – I consider myself a pretty versatile developer (frontend, backend, testing, and everything in between), so you should hopefully see that reflected in what I share here!
