|
|
<a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock_branding>cattle brand</a>,
|
|
of course! My cattle brand!</h3><p>The <dfn>milliron</dfn> is the bar with a bend in the middle. It does not
|
|
represent anything physical or textual <i>per se</i>, 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><p><dfn>X</dfn> 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><h2>Who am I?</h2><figure class="figure float-md-end w-md-50 p-3"><img class="figure-img img img-fluid" src=/me-and-lady_hu7060dc4dab919d51d7854024d27698e6_13657210_768x0_resize_q75_box.jpg width=768 height=513><figcaption class=figure-caption><small>Image courtesy <a href=https://www.guymccutcheon.com/>Guy McCutcheon Photography</a></small></figcaption></figure><p>I am</p><ul><li>🧬 A bioinformatician (by profession)</li><li>📐 An engineer (by education)</li><li>🐂 A rancher (by lifestyle)</li><li>🖥️ A techie (self-taught)</li><li>🎥 And a filmmaker (at heart)</li></ul><p>I've got a soft spot for Brown Swiss dairy cows (just in case you couldn't

especially anything to do with both of them.</p><p><em><abbr title="Born again, fundamentalist, dispensationalist, King James Bible-believing, independent Baptist">Christian</abbr>, American, Convervative, Pro-gun, Heterosexual - any questions?</em></p><h2>Where am I?</h2><figure class="figure float-md-start w-md-50 p-3"><img class="figure-img img img-fluid" src=/wy-in-ks_hudc7807e3bcd929cdfa1bf6a15cff914e_370962_768x0_resize_box_3.png width=768 height=499></figure><p>I am a Wyomingite sojurning in Kansas.
