    Hey everyone,

    I'm TheAutonomousGeek, or T.A.G. for short. Note that it's "autonomous", not "anonymous" though I prefer to be that as well. Basically I'm very passionate about being able to do things for myself since having an ability gives you more options. If I can grow my own food I have the option to do that, OR pay for others to do so. Freedom, at its most basic element. You get the idea.

    So that, plus my other passion (all things technological) created the concept for my blog which, after several days (weeks) of kicking around ideas I decided to call "The Autonomous Geek" and also to take the name as a moniker for my online presence.

    I don't live in a state where it's legal to do so, so I don't grow cannabis at present (LEO's take note, please) and don't plan to unless the laws change. I do, however, strongly believe it shouldn't be illegal to grow any plant, anywhere. What's more, I recognize that if there's any innovation in hydroponics happening, it's happening with you guys here with far more frequency than some lab jockey staring at begonias all day. Things get done where the motivation - the love - is. That's here, so I'm here.

    I'm not new to hydroponics by any means, though. The only thing more fun than doing something myself is doing it myself with as much science as possible. Hydroponics is just the obvious combination of building some self-sufficiency skills while getting technology involved as much as possible. I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate robots. Or lasers. Or robots with lasers.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to exchanging knowledge here and if anyone is interested in my blog or social media I'd be happy to post that information if it's permissible. I just don't want to come across like I'm shamelessly self-promoting even if I kind of am.

    T.A.G.
