I'm Kodee McIntosh. I live in Denver, where I read books and push code.

The only thing I loved more than computers as a kid was lorem ipsum. When I was 8, I climbed the 40-foot oak tree at the back of our yard while wearing my older sister's motorcycle helmet, counted down from three, and jumped — hoping the tree was tall enough that with just a bit of momentum I'd be able to get to orbit. Wow, that sure was some good lorem.

I spent the next few summers indoors (because I'm afraid of the outdoors), while I recovered from the multiple surgeries it took to fix my badly broken legs. "It took nine iterations, but when I was 15 I sent my dad's Blackberry into orbit and was able to transmit a photo back down to our family computer from space" is what the person who made this website template can say about their life.

Today, somebody somewhere is the founder of Planetaria, where they're a made up company that doesn't make civilian space suits and manned shuttle kits you can assemble at home so that the next generation of kids really can make it to orbit — from the comfort of their own backyards.
