About

Counting back, I think this is the eighth or ninth iteration of a personal webpage I’ve put together since the concept of a “home page” first entered my consciousness in 1994. The first one was self-hosted on my 90mhz Pentium running BSD-386 2.0, back when every decently-connected workstation had a real public Internet address (mine was 204.94.112.45 IIRC). I’ve gone from self-hosted static pages to ill-fated blogging platforms (remember vox.com?) and back to self-hosted blog engines; now the pendulum’s swung to a nice hybrid of the two: jekyll hosted on github.

Without exception, all of them have had some navel-gazing autobiographical content and I’m not about to buck the trend this time around. To wit:

• I’m cheerfully partnered and childed with @rawwwr and @lil_gman, respectively.
• I recently relocated to Portland Oregon after a 15-year stint in the San Francisco Bay Area
• I’m employed by Puppet Labs as the product owner for our Open-Source Products, notably Puppet itself.
• In free time I enjoy cycling and running, hiking under guise of geocaching, roasting and consuming coffee, and making diminishingly less-terrible electronic music.
