About

Dots and Loops is my personal online scrapbook. The name comes from one of my favorite albums by Stereolab. I started this blog primarily for the opportunity to experiment with web design. I am interested in too many topics, both tech related and not. In keeping with modern lifes emphasis on specialization, this blog once bifurcated into a tech related blog, and another with a more personal milieu. Nowadays I don't have time to keep up with one blog, much less two, so I have merged the two and pruned a bit. So, herein I will post the occational and awkward rumination on web design, programming, Linux, philosophy, movies, and anything else I find interesting. This site is only sporadically and rarely updated.

As for me...

I am a technology and science enthusiast. I have a background in science and mathematics. While studying computational chemistry in graduate school I had my first encounter with the Linux operating system. It was love at first site. I was fortunate enough to be mentored there by an old style UNIX guru, and during that time my interest in computers exploded.

If you have read this far you may be interested in syndicating my site content. This probably makes more sense than bookmarking and trying to remember to come back.

Thanks for visiting.
