About

Imprtnt Ephemera is managed by Keith Gardner for the purpose of interacting with a small number of people on a global field. I have a business, Bitsworld Consulting, which name I sort of purloined from an incomprehensible slogan on a pencil box that I bought at a Japanese bookstore in San Francisco. Besides the IT and business consulting by which I earn my keep, I am also an amateur composer and musician.

Here I’ll focus on those political and philosophical matters that I think exist on both a personal and a global plane; ideas and experiences that are at once deep, heart-felt, and private; and yet universal, and with impact outside of ourselves.
