About

I’m Jim Fenton, a networking technologist based in Silicon Valley. I’m married and have one daughter who is currently doing costume construction for the opera. I like to write about travel, solar power and power conservation, bicycling, and related topics.

I also sometimes write about topics related to my professional work. I am a consultant for the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, assisting with the revision of some of their identity-related standards. I am also a participant and working group chair at the Internet Engineering Task Force, focusing primarily on internet messaging.

I post to this blog at somewhat irregular intervals, when I have something to say or something to vent about. So don’t expect to see things all the time.
