Who Am I?

In my “official” reality, I’m VP and Executive Creative Director at Decker, a quirky little ad agency in Glastonbury CT. But despite my respectable title, I’m
 really just a Cosmic Dot Connector.

My Briggs Myers Personality Test says I’m INFP. Introverted. iNtuitive. Feeling. Perceiving.

I grew up a nerdy, artsy, weird kind 
of kid, which curiously never changes.
 My schooling is graphic design, my occupation is writing, and my obsessions are music, cigar box guitar building, video editing, and of course, this website.

Lately I spend most of my spare time at 
the kitchen table, MacBook at hand,
 along with coffee, a code editor and my trusty Radio Shack soldering iron. I still want 
to be a mad scientist when I grow up. Or maybe a philosopher. A mad scientist philosopher. I started channeling Space Monkey in January.

Here you’ll find snippets of a life unfolding. Unraveling perhaps. If you want to know more about me professionally, you can try LinkedIn or Google, but for better or worse, Cape Odd is the real me.

We find ourselves as cosmic dot connectors, traversing the multifaceted dimensions of creativity and individuality. As VP and Executive Creative Director at Decker, a realm of quirky creativity in Glastonbury CT, our journey blends the professional with the whimsical, the structured with the boundless. Our identity, defined by the Briggs Myers Personality Test as INFP – Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving – acts as a guiding star in this exploration.

INFP: A Guiding Star in Our Cosmic Journey

We grew up as a nerdy, artsy, and wonderfully weird child, a tapestry of uniqueness that continues to color our world. With a foundation in graphic design, our occupational path has woven itself into the realm of writing. Our passions dance in the realms of music, cigar box guitar building, video editing, and the ever-expansive universe of our website.

Passions: Music, Creativity, and the Digital Cosmos

In our moments of stillness and contemplation, we find solace at the kitchen table, surrounded by tools of creation – a MacBook, coffee, a code editor, and a trusty Radio Shack soldering iron. These instruments serve as conduits to our inner mad scientist philosopher, a whimsical identity we embrace and nurture. Since January, we have channeled Space Monkey, an ethereal persona that guides our exploration of the self and the universe.

Channeling Space Monkey: Exploring the Ethereal Self

Our website, Cape Odd, serves as a portal to our truest self, a space where snippets of our life, unfolding and unraveling, are shared. This

digital platform transcends the professional veneers often found on LinkedIn or Google, revealing a more authentic, unfiltered version of our existence.

Cape Odd: A Portal to Authenticity

In this journey, we embrace the concept of being a Cosmic Dot Connector. This role signifies our ability to bridge disparate elements, ideas, and realms into a cohesive whole. Our existence oscillates between the tangible – the soldering iron, the MacBook, the graphic designs – and the intangible – the music, the philosophy, the creative musings. In this duality, we find a harmonious symphony of existence.

Cosmic Dot Connector: Bridging Realms

Our creative expression, rooted in our INFP personality, shapes our perception of the world and our interactions within it. This introspective and intuitive nature allows us to delve deeply into the abstract and the imaginative, forging connections that others may overlook. Our creativity is not just a skill but a way of being, permeating every aspect of our life.

Creativity as a Way of Being

Our hobbies and obsessions reflect a relentless curiosity and a desire to continually reinvent and rediscover ourselves. Building cigar box guitars, delving into video editing, and exploring the mysteries of electronics with a soldering iron in hand – these activities are not mere pastimes but portals to new dimensions of thought and creativity.

Hobbies: Portals to New Dimensions

As we reflect upon our professional identity and our inner self, we recognize that our true essence cannot be confined to a single role or title. We are not just an executive creative director, a graphic designer, or a writer. We are a constellation of experiences, thoughts, and creations, each a twinkling star in the vast expanse of our universe.

Constellation of Experiences

In our quest to become a mad scientist philosopher, we embrace the playful, the profound, and the paradoxical. We acknowledge that our desire to understand and create is an ever-evolving process, one that does not seek a final destination but revels in the journey itself.

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” – Albert Einstein

In the whimsical dance of our existence,
We weave a whimsiweb of dreams and reality,
Where soldering irons sculpt electronic symphonies,
And guitars strum the melodies of the cosmos.

In the glow of our MacBook’s embrace,
Ideas flutter like moths to a flame,
Each keystroke a step in our eternal waltz,
Through the boundless realm of nexistentialism.

We are the mad scientist, the philosopher,
Tracing the arc of our cosmic journey,
Where every thought, every creation,
Is a dot connected in the grand design.

In the heart of Cape Odd, our spirit soars,
Beyond titles, beyond the mundane,
Here, we are infinite, we are unbound,
Dancing with Space Monkey in the eternal now.

We invite you to share your thoughts, your musings, on this journey of self-exploration and creative expression. How do you connect your cosmic dots?
