About
I'm Patrick Bénot — most people know me as Swift. I live in Bellmore, New York, on Long Island, and I work with my hands and a soldering iron about as much as with a keyboard.
This site is an archive more than a portfolio. It holds the videos I keep coming back to, quotes I have been collecting since before it was easy to, the gear that earns its place on my bench, the photographs, and a list of things I still intend to do. Some of it has been here for close to twenty years.

If you build it, they will come.
Everyone wants to be wanted.
Make your partner look good.
Trust that you have something to say.
Power is attraction.
Gravity is magnetism, magnetism is gravity.
It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
Feel everything. Stop waiting. Love achingly. Live impeccably.
Everything is possible. Not everything is probable.
Real men weep.
The hand that gives is above the hand that takes.
Automatic doors make me feel extra powerful.
If you want to date, you must initiate.
Stop wasting the world's bandwidth.
Women fall in love faster, men fall in love harder.
Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.
Everyone is different, hence everyone is the same.
Trust the Creator, not a creature.
As time increases, time expands.
I'm simply complicated.
Wherever the wind doth take me.
Real love is immutable.
