Jason Harris has been coding up spiffiness and silliness for about ten years, working on such diverse projects as a solid-state quantum computing simulator for electron waves in GaAs semiconductors and a Monte Carlo simulator for electron transport in nanostructure devices. He also wrote insane, down-to-the-metal microcontroller assembly language code for Octofungi, a robotic sculpture. In the Mac world, he's the primary author of ShapeShifter, Mighty Mouse, ThemePark, and heads the open-source Chicken of the VNC and Paranoid Android projects. He digs mountain biking, skateboarding, art, martinis, loud music, and creating oddly euphonious phrases. He never wears shoes if he can help it and can dance like a mofo!
