About

So, who is this guy, anyway?

My name's Brendon Higgins. Hi! Other monikers I've assumed at some point include bh_doc, Tachyon, and QTachyon. I'm a 30-something-year-old Australian residing in Ontario, Canada. I'm interested in information technology and science, so much so that I have a degree in the former, and a PhD in the latter. My CV is here. I'm currently a Research Associate at the Institute for Quantum Computing, working on quantum-optics apparatuses for links to Earth-orbiting satellites. I am also the Co-founder and Chief Architect of QEYnet, Inc., where we are commercializing this technology for securing satellite infrastructure. Fun stuff.

I'm a self-confessed geek, perfectionist, and secular humanist with interests in science, technology, open-source software, nature, art and drawing, and music. You can talk to me at <brendon@quantumfurball.net>.

So, what is this?

This is my little home-on-the-web. I'll post here various bits and pieces about projects I'm working on, things I've published, notes I've made, places I've travelled, software I've written, thoughts, links... basically, whatever smattering of my interests I decide are worthy to write-up and share with the world. Enjoy!
