Introducing the Hardpan Technologies Web Log

In no too simple feat of mythology, Hardpan Technologies is the web log of a person studying mathematics in as much as mathematics is expressed in the sciences of mechanical systems, and expressly analog electrical systems, digital electrical systems as applying contemporary semiconductor technology, and the inevitable permutations of technologies in such focused domains, such as may ultimately be expressive to a contemporary information science, whether of vocations in practice of mechanical or electrical trades.

The namesake of Hardpan Technologies is the hard clay of the soil in the basin area of California's central San Joaquin Valley. The hardpan of the valley so low, it is a type of clay soil that the author has been familiar of, for a few decades ongoing – primarily, as with regards to how such a dense clay ground presents a challenge to easy construction in manual earth moving and stake setting. Agriculturally, the same compacted clay surface would present its own features for drainage of any level of water flow from ground surface level, as regardless of however the clay may be surfaced with granular topsoil or humus-enriched earth. Additionally, the same hardpan clay would present its own qualities of capillary flow, as upwards and inwards to wells and roots, from within local water tables saturating the deeper earth. Personally, the author is not one to make politics of water systems analysis, at any scale.

The author, at this time, is a student – presently, a student of mathematics and sciences, previously a student of formalized social scienes, visual arts, and performing arts expressed of performances in dramatic theatre, with some lesser study of the choreography of expressions in manners of dance. Even at such a previous time, as a student, the author was much enamored of the expressive characteristics of nonlinear dynamics – an interest by which the author now recommends the reader's attention to the work of Rom Harré, as in regards to multidisciplinary study, and a further bookshelf that may be forthcoming in a digital bookshelf format.

As a die-hard capitalist, the author is a fan of the simple, ever practical economic theories publushed by the real Phineas T. Barnum, and Andrew Carnegie, and economic theories expressed by the author's own family in this post-Cold War US. Whether it shall be relegated by the inevitable experts, whether to a domain of specializations of species of theories in macroeconomics, or microeconomics, or plainly in neither such specialization, the author is of an opinion that capitalism works, no matter of one's dispotition to any trends of political and social iconoclasm.

Today marks the beginning of the author's Hardpan Technologies web log. It is the 21st day of April, the year 2015 AD, or 2015 CE, or what day by any favorite calendar system of the reader's preference – whether in UNIX Epoch time, or CADR period counts, or Cesium tock marks, or however of a day that it could be counted to be. Politically, it is an odd time to the author's views, but this – in itself – is not designed to be a political forum, the Hardpan Technologies weblog – where capillary action applies, even in the toughest clay.
