Introductions & Beginnngs

Introductions first I guess. Jonathan here, working on increasing my presence on the web. This tech blog will be a bit like me, highly varied in its covered content & interests. If it gets big enough, I may break out the topics to individual blogs, but for now, topics might include:
  • Programming:
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Adaptive Algorithms & Evolutionary Programming
    • Automation & Smart Things (IoT)
    • Computer Repair & Modding (function over form though)
  • Security
  • Tech for Automotive/Motorcycle Applications
  • Tech for Gardening/Horticulture
Many more topics are on the table, but that gets us started.
