<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
tell by the pictures), and am sometimes called "one of those crazy, Wyoming

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.
