About

Hello, dear reader. My name is Brian Enigma (@BrianEnigma) and I live in Portland, Oregon. I enjoy interesting technology, a good drink, and a good story. Sometimes I pretend I am a writer or reporter and compose nonfiction text on such subjects here. Sometimes I fall back to posting pictures of my naked cat. For more stalkeriffic information about me, please see the “About” page.
