Hi. My name is Harper. I am an engineer and software architect involved in social networks and the open source software. I am very happily employed as the CTO to the awesome skinnyCorp in Chicago, IL. We make some really cool stuff. 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.
