I am a lifelong insomniac. On long nights where sleep just isn’t happening I spend a lot of time reading on my Kindle, watching terrible movies from the 60’s, or scrolling through Twitter.
I’d just started taking Ambien when the first Ambien Walrus Comic came out. Since insomniacs everywhere eaglerly await a visit from Mr. Walrus rather than Mr. Sandman, it inspired me to change my twitter handle to @HelloMrWalrus
Walrus Analytics
W//A is a tongue in cheek moniker for my data engineering hobby projects since then, and the purpose of WalrusAnalytics.com is to provide a platform for the implementation journeys.
It’s where I take my late night Great IdeasTM, set a direction, and go play. Along the way I discover cool new things; and sometimes I stubbornly work through the devils in the details and beat them out of the solution like Bob Ross beats a brush. Capturing the experience is more important than reaching the destination with a perfect reference implementation.
Ultimately it’s about becoming a better explorer, and I stay curious by always trying to see what’s beyond the next hill. After all,
You’ll never know if you don’t go.
