Introducing the Author of the Hardpan Web Log

I am a student of mathematics, logic, the electrical sciences, automation, and computing. Presently, I'm studying under a formal degree program for an Associates Degree with DeVry University.  As my being, informally, a student of general business practices – my having studied, previously, in formal courses about macroeconomics and small business management – I'm developing Hardpan Technologies as a commercial thesis. Though it is not yet an officially registered, formal commercial institution, Hardpan Technologies now represents a personal organizing principal for a small set of technological development projects and thesis concepts, such that I may estimate to be of any manner of a demonstrable commercial relevance.

I maintain the Hardpan Technologies web log, and a corresponding public notebook that I've named, Digital Spelunk 42. Additionally, the Bring Back Lady Liberty web log – though seldom updated – is my primary soap box for political expression, online. I have a personal social networking account at each of the Google+, Facebook, and Twitter social networking forums. My personal social networking accounts are only sporadically updated, typically with an Op-Ed style of content, as those being forums for communication in my own small, personal endeavors in a context of social journalism, online.

As a person being of something of a creative bent, I maintain a small practice in snapshot photography and an informal study of locales not indoors. As previously a young adult, I've performed onstage in theatre, but have since traded my notebook for a small thing of silicates, metals, and synthetic extrusions. Audibly, I'm a fan of some manners of folk music, including genres of bluegrass, post-classical, Slavic melodies, and traditional musics of First Nations.  Literally, I try to keep a broad bibliography, mostly focusing on normative reference content. In a context of literary fiction, my personal sci-fi bookshelf includes works by Arthur C. Clarke, Charles Sheffield, Frank Herbert, Douglas Adams, and Larry Niven. I don't frequent the cinema, though I enjoy the odd work in cinematic storytelling or documentary journalism. Personally, I try to avoid frequenting any pop hubs, but I enjoy coffee, books, and a tread lightly approach to the outdoors.
