I am Evan Bittner, and this page is part of my endless struggle to sort out the ideas in my head. I have trouble figuring out why anybody else would care, but I didn't do it for you. Still, if you do care, then you're in the right place then, aren't you.

Toward a Resume

Why Kiribako?

No reason really. It has an aesthetic appeal, don't you think. Well, I did. It's the Japanese word for "Cloud Chamber". Physics and Japanese are exotic, even with my modest knowledge of both. I adopted Kiribako as a tag for future artistic efforts. I play music, program my synthesizer, take a few photographs, & write a little on the side. You might be disappointed in me and write me off as a dabbler. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. If that's how you feel, then frankly, I'm surprised you read this far.

I knew there was another meaning! Kiribako are also wooden boxes for storing valuable Japanese items like jewelery, scrolls, & swords. The Kiri part is written with a different character for the kind of wood. Bako still means box.

As time goes by, I expect to try out what Infogami has to offer, then get this site looking healthy, better organized, and dare I say it more Professional.

My immediate goals are:

• Collect some old writings
• Generate some new wirtings
• Organize it all into some sensible scheme
• Become handy with markdown
• Glean some site building lessons for use with my employer
• Pad my resume

Check out the blog if you care about such things...

I studied Japanese for several years. I ought to be able to string together some interesting material in that language. Maybe even brush up on my translation skills. Check out the Japanese Kiribako page: 霧箱

box.net

I thought this might be a good option for hosting photos, but there's a price tag for making the files linkable - exposing them as a URL - so I've go to think about it a little more...

You should check it out, though: It's tons of remote storage for free, which is nice. You might be the kind of person who has trouble remembering to take your keys when you leave your house in the morning, let alone your Flash RAM Thumb Drive.
