My name is Kurtis McCartney, currently a self-published jack-of-all-trades. My interests are as diverse as the experiences available in the Niagara Region, and I'm typically open to trying something new. The newest and largest endeavour is ARIDARIA, a commercial outlet for my innovative or preffered lifestyle hacks.

Most of my older personal academic and work profile is available HERE with a couple of exceptions. More detailed descriptions can be seen in the posts scattered around this website.

I believe in innovation and effort and their ability to make life more enjoyable. This includes an interest in making justice, education, and the opportunity to live in freedom available to everyone. Realistically this may mean a high demand for soundproofing and other technologies to escape from the hum of civilization, and with all hope it could mean popular support for protecting natural spaces and living at peace with your neighbours.

Currently I can be found: Cycling, Operating/Supporting HAM Radio, Supporting Public Transit, Listening to PBS on AM 970, Contributing to Wikipedia, Rocking a +99.5% VRMS Compliant Linux System, Building an E-Bike, Growing Food, and trying to be very nice to my family.
