About

My name is Aaron Helton, and this is my blog.

What else were you expecting? I expose my thoughts and interests in my blog, so go there instead.

Oh, but possibly you wanted more info about me? Information you couldn’t have pieced together from my blog entries?

Ok, so I am married with two kids. I am a systems administrator for a smallish software services company. I live in Austin, TX. My free time is spent largely with my family, although since I started attending graduate school in the evenings, that free time is highly variable. My hobbies include computers, role-playing games, woodworking, and reading. This is in no way an exhaustive list. I am a hopeless technophile, and would probably die from withdrawal if you were to remove me from my technology. I read tech news incessantly. I like to write web applications, and occasionally post things about them on my blog.

Want more? You’ll have to ask nicely. Or, go check out my resume.

For now, you can also view my LinkedIn page.

And if you can’t get enough, I am on Digg, Facebook, and Twitter as well.

I have a wealth of external information on the sidebar, including links to other people’s sites and blogs and some periodically updated lists of things I am reading, doing, and saying out there in the InterWeb.

If you have reached this site looking for Aaron Helton (a common enough search term, though not the one that brings the most traffic, alas), consider reviewing the resume link above to make sure I am the Aaron Helton you are looking for.  I am not, for instance, the musician of the same name, nor am I the OK National Guard MP, the screen actor, or the newcomer who seems to have some similar interests as mine.  I am pretty sure that’s a nearly-exhaustive list of others who share my name, are alive, and have some presence on the Web.  If I missed any, leave a comment 🙂
