## Milliron X - The homepage of Thomas A. Christensen II
I am an engineer by training, a rancher by upbringing, a techie by experience,
and a filmmaker at heart. I've got a soft spot for Brown Swiss dairy cows (just
in case you couldn't tell by the background image), and am sometimes called "one
of those crazy, Wyoming dairy cow people." I love anything to do with cattle or
technology, but especially anything to do with both of them.
_Christian, American, Conservative, Pro-gun, Heterosexual - any questions?_
### What is a "Milliron X"?
#### It's a [cattle brand], of course! My cattle brand!
The **milliron** is the bar with a bend in the middle. It does not represent
anything physical or textual _per se_, and is therefore a rather unique element
in cattle brands. Millirons are difficult to modify into another brand, and
provide a guarantee of authentic ownership.
**X** is the letter of mystery and mystique. For nerds, it's the unknown in any
algebra problem. Ranchers and cowboys will associate it with big names like the
"Bar X" and the "Double X." In either case, it lends itself to a sense of
withholding, prestige, and power.
Together, these two symbols represent the qualities I strive for in each of my
works: authenticity, originality, power, depth, and prestige.

<p>This is sort of my landing page, but it also doubles as my internet workshop.
I'm always testing things here that I want to put in other sites I'm working on,
