<h2>Milliron X - The homepage of Thomas A. Christensen II</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.

<h3>What is a “Milliron X”?</h3>
|
|
<h5>It's a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock_branding">cattle brand</a>, of course! My cattle brand!</h5>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span style="font-size: larger; font-weight: bolder">The milliron</span>
|
|
is the bar with a bend in the middle. It does not represent anything physical
|
|
or textual <em>per se</em>, 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.
|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
<span style="font-size: larger; font-weight: bolder">X</span> 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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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,
|
|
and its code isn't always the cleanest.
