I need help

So I have some ideas So I have some designs and concepts So I have all kinds of open projects

so what

what do I do with them?

Ever since I can remember I was always a dreamer free from structure and conformity free from meaninglessness

I have an agenda I have a plan and I have the ambition to overcome anything that stands in my way

I just can’t do it all by myself

I have a wandering mind wandering from idea to idea thought from thought project to project with the hope that I might in some way make an impact on the future of technology I have so much creative potential

I don’t know how programmers do what they do but I do know that it takes determination will-power and unyielding effort

However being a rebel without a cause never achieves anything

I can give you a cause I can give you a reason I can give you concepts, ideas, and designs that may literally revolutionize the way people interact with computers

I have nothing conclusive or final I have no code to show you I have no mock-ups

I do have pages and pages of notes and details pages and pages of sketches and storyboards

That I have spent hours upon hours of brainstorming with tons and tons of research and consideration put into almost every little detail

I am going to warn you the projects that I propose will not be easy they are not simple cookie-cutter solutions but rather a whole new beast a whole new take and most importantly a whole new approach

if you are interested then drop me a line and I will tell you just exactly what I have in mind thank you for you time

NOW I HAVE TO BE STEVE AND FUCKING WOZ.
