i'm penny, a cartoonist-turned-engineer and retro computer nerd from iowa.

i work in embedded systems and studied horticulture in college.  i also like optics, music, water, and looking at the sky.  i've got a class B CDL with a passenger endorsement and the first time i installed haiku on bare metal was in 2009 on an axiotron modbook.

i've got a lot of irons in a lot of fires, so i made a wiki to keep track of myself.
