My name is Jason Moiron and I... was a hardliner? I have a BS and MS in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology and currently work as a lead developer on a fairly large Django project at a company that is essentially allergic to publicity. The standard "my opinions are my own and do not reflect my employer" disclaimer applies to anything herein.
My hobbies include software and languages. Software, languages, and travel. Among my hobbies are such things as software, languages, travel, and photography. I have studied Japanese on and off in New York City at the Japan Society since 2006, but remain (frustratingly) slightly below conversant level. I have some level of Portuguese knowledge where my speaking skills are very poor and my comprehension skills are fairly advanced. Non academic pursuits or past-times include video games, politics, and music.
I keep a blog because without it I'd probably forget who I was, how I felt, and what I've done. I find that writing often is a fairly healthy mental activity, whether I'm writing about programming, socio-economics, or growing basil.
