I write about military and political history, weapons, and technology with an eye toward context and how things actually work, as well as the occasional foray into wargaming and simulation.

People

A historian turned programmer and engineer, and sometimes entrepreneur, I write about weapons, tactics, technology, propaganda, and history. In my day job I write code for large companies, and deal with my family outside of Cleveland.
