This website is owned and operated by Kenny Kinlund.

Kenny is a full time intellectual and enjoys doing nothing and reading treatises.

He can design websites, fix computers, fix anything else that's electronic in some way, ride a bike, hack things, talk about economics and play with his dog that he found in a field one day.
