Profile

Hi, my name is Jon and this is my journal. This journal is part soapbox, part community relations, and part "got up, had breakfast, went to work, had dinner, went to bed." If that interests you and you want to add me to your reading list, feel free. I may or may not return the favor, depending on how busy I am, how full my list already is, and whether or not I even notice you've added me. Most of my journal entries are locked to friends only.

By profession I am a Staff Software Engineer specializing in web-based applications. I love UI work and have been fortunate to make it my career for the last 25+ years.

By education I am a scientist. I have degrees in physics and mathematics, with special interests in plasma physics, relativity, number theory, computational mathematics, and cryptography. I've been an amateur botanist, amateur astronomer, and rock hound since I was a kid.

I've been married to my fantastic husband for 25 years, no matter what the damn courts say.

My contact information, should you need it, is in this entry.
