About the Author

My name is Paul Ellis, and these are my words. I love to critique things, even/especially the products I really like. I don’t intend to offend, but I don’t pull punches. If I’m wrong let me know; you won’t hurt my feelings. :)

My Background

I have been into technology for a really long time. I used to ride my bike to Radioshack when I was a kid and I built my first computer (an 8088) when I was about ten years old.

These days I consider myself something of a “jack-of-all-tech”. Whether it is hardware (GPGPUs, CUDA, OpenCL, etc), codecs (MPEG-4 ASP/AVC, Ogg Vorbis, etc), gaming and digital entertainment (both the business sides and for leisure), or software development (proprietary, open-source, GPLv2 vs GPLv3, etc) I am into it.

I recently graduated with an MBA in marketing and finance from the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University.

Other Interests

Music: I love to write, play, and listen to music. I play a few intruments, my main one being guitar which I have been playing for almost 15 years now. I like to program Loop-based (ala FruityLoops, not Acid) digital music too.

Cars: I have always loved how art and technology collide in automobiles, especially Porsches.

Economics: Yeah, I know it sounds lame, but I find it fascinating to look at macro and micro level economic stuff.
