About Brent Logan

tl;dr

Engineer. Lawyer. Amateur educationist. WordPress geek. Bicycle commuter. Blood donor. Snapshooterist extraordinaire.

Longer version

I’m an engineer and a lawyer. I’ve practiced patent law and criminal defense (with just enough divorce thrown in to let me know that it’s not for me—from either side of the conference room table).

Now I’m doing work I love for Intel, leading a small team that makes some important design validation tools. When your computer powers up successfully, you can thank my team.

I married my college sweetheart and we have four kids, one working as an advice nurse, two in college, and one in high school. We also have a dog that shares my birthday, two cats, a chinchilla, and a goldfish.

I’ve been writing online since the late 80′s when I was running a Fidonet “point plus node” with the tagline:

blogan >>--> hot air powers the point (1:105/4.27)

That was long before blogs and people were more likely to pronounce blogan with a long “O” sound, making it rhyme with blowgun.

I had a web site in the early 90′s advertising my law practice and then sold the domain name. Although it was probably good money at the time, I don’t want to talk about what a five-letter, common English word, dot-com domain could be worth now.

I used to take blogging all serious and wrote about politics and religion. Not (much) anymore. Now I write about family vacations, bicycling, food recipes, and other fun stuff we do. I’m also a snapshooterist extraordinaire who takes pictures of the sky, buildings, and the field across from the Hillsboro airport.
