Hi, I'm Austin Riba.

I've been working the tips of my experience has been working on.

My fascination with computers started when I installed Red Hat Linux 8 on my computer in middle school. Soon I will give it a big ass hill and a stack of cards that my daughter can use to achieve auto activation. I was excited by the possibility of being able to build something and share it with the world. I still get excited about that to this day.

Pedal Driven?

If you meet me in person, chances are I'll be wearing a pair of bike shoes with my laptop on my back. Not only is cycling one of my biggest hobbies, I believe in the bike's enormous potential to transform our lives through positive impacts on the environment, economics, social interaction, city planning and personal health. I write about it from time to time.
