About
Name:Matt Zumwalt
Location:Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
In 2004, I derailed plans for a PhD in Computer Science so that I could take up residence at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Poughkeepsie, NY. Then, in 2006, after two years of neurotic life at the monastery with interspersed periods as an IT consultant in Manhattan and one lengthy trip to India, I moved to Minneapolis to start a company called MediaShelf. These days I’m still running MediaShelf and I’m the technical lead for an international open source software project called Hydra. As with anyone, my life is an intersection of countless seemingly disparate ventures. I try to meet that with the playfulness, confidence, and compassion that Chogyam Trungpa called crazy wisdom. Hopefully I will improve with practice.
Hello Matt. You’ve always caused me to look at life from a different perspective each time I encounter you. I’ve never been to your personal blog before, guess I haven’t been following my curiosities as closely…or it could be that I joined twitter last night. Reading your words encourages me to write, to write openly about anything, and I like that. Thank you, special friend.
Your Hans
