Who’s behind this?

Carlos Foster. I write software and make things. When I’m not helping clients solve technical problems in their business, you’ll most likely find me reading about tech, psychology, business, or philosophy.

Can I share something I found?

Yes, send it to me at . I can’t include everything but I’ll look at anything you send.

What’s with the name?

Teacher, journalist, and civil rights pioneer Ida B. Wells is one of my heroes. Born into slavery in 1862, she risked her life investigating and writing about lynchings across the South. And ravens… Ravens are clever, imposing, beautiful black birds.
