Who’s that guy in the trees?

That’s me, Richard Mondello, but plenty of people know me as Ricky. I’m a college freshman at Tufts University, caught somewhere between Boston, Massachusetts and Dover Plains, New York.

I have a few straightforward beliefs that guide everything I do.

  • I believe in bettering myself and the world around me.
  • I believe that access to information changes lives.
  • I believe in journaling, both public and private.

With these beliefs in mind, I’m working and studying toward doing something positive. I’m not sure what it is yet, but as I figure it out, I’ll post my progress on this site.

I’m a huge geek; I love the Internet, the Macintosh, and the philosophy of open source. In the past, I’ve produced my own movies, run a Disc Jockey service, and fixed computers. Beyond geekdum, I love politics and world affairs, and find great fulfillment in working with children.

If you’re a forward-thinking person who wants to collaborate on some project, get in touch. I’d love to meet you.
