Hi. My name is Harper. I am an engineer excited about real time, social software and the open source software movement.

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.
