Welcome to my website and blog, I hope you find your visits here useful and informative as I play with WordPress, PHP, blogs, and whatever else inspires, uplifts, and catches my intentions long enough.

Shinsato means new hometown, or new milestone in Japanese. My mission is to help realize a healthy new global village, one that feels like home. Raised in the capitol city of the world, New York City, by parents from Hawaii, my ancestors came from Japan, Portugal, Wales, and the Hawaiian Islands themselves. My body lives in Montana in the land of the Big Sky, yet my heart longs for Ohana, which is Hawaiian for a spirit of family, immediate and extended, biological and intentional. This exciting integration of the cultures of the world through the amplification of our intelligence and the connecting of our collective genius with computers and the internet can help create a global Ohana. Having been baked in the crazy culture of MIT for my computer science degree, and then shaken in the vibrant vibes around Silicon Valley and the Palo Alto Research Center through 2000 with a smattering of improvisation, a spiritual diploma, and a good dose of personal growth work, washed in a great deal of future shock, there’s more than enough to help the birth of the real potential of our species. But that potential is when we come together, no matter what our background. Why are you reading this anyway? Post something! Help lay a brick. We’ve got work to do.
