Hi. My name is Harper. I am an engineer excited about real time, social software and the open source software movement. I am currently spending some time building interesting things and hacking for rackspace. In a previous life, I was the CTO of the awesome Threadless.
This is obviously my blog. I write about everything from being a professional yoyoer to hacking the newest Internet appliance. Be sure and check out my homepage at harperreed.org. If you are so interested, my resume is located here. I love getting emails and what not so feel free to contact me through here.
Be sure and take a gander at my photos.
