| 7 | +## Prerequisites |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Here are some of the things I need to be a productive citizen and engineer. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +* Single-origin, medium roast coffee from Africa. |
| 12 | +* Daily Bible study and prayer |
| 13 | +* Jazz / hip-hop fusion with strong piano lines, bass, and drums. Favorite artists right now are [Kiefer][kiefer-link], [Glimlip][glimlip-link], [Ashley Henry][ashley-henry-link], and [Tom Misch][tom-misch-link]. |
| 14 | +* Not operational on Sunday's. That's the Lord's Day so I'm closed for business. |
| 15 | +* Smoked meats and BBQ of pretty much any variety (pork, beef, chicken, lamb, etc.). |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Installation Instructions |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +1. It's best to get in touch with me after 9am PT on most days. I'm not an early riser. |
| 20 | +1. I'm instant human, just add coffee. |
| 21 | +1. There is usually no shortage of things I need to do on any given day as a full-time entrepreneur, so scheduling time with me is usually best. I'm good at ignoring ad-hoc messages. |
| 22 | +1. Email communication is the best as my inbox is one of the tools I use for priority management. There's a high chance I will miss messages on LinkedIn and Twitter, so don't be afraid to ping me again if I don't respond in a timely manner. |
| 23 | +1. Before you ask me a question about your tech career, make sure to check my blog at [anthonydmays.com/blog](https://anthonydmays.com/blog) to ensure that I haven't already answered it. I also cross post articles on LinkedIn and Medium. |

| 29 | +## Fun Facts |
| 30 | + |
