Support local jazz radio stations
Hi, I'm Chris Dawson a dad and writer from Portland, OR, now living in Florida. My book is Building Tools with GitHub from O'Reilly. I'm an inventor, have started several companies and worked for several non-startups like Apple and eBay. I am sometimes available for hire as a consultant or part time contributor.

This morning, I left a little early for work. Derek, host of “The Morning Session” on KHMD the local Portland, OR jazz station, played something from Sun-Ra, and then he read a poem from that artist. I feel like I’ve had many moments of sadness and tears that last year and a half during the pandemic. The cadence of a poetry reading broke the rhythm of the music, and took me away from all that sadness. It was the first moment I remember in a long time when I felt tears of joy and connection, and I really have missed that. KMHD is a treasure and it brings me joy to have it in my life every day.
