About Rashid and RZMCOM

Hi. My name is Rashid. I am a thirtysomething techonology, economics, and politics geek currently living in Atlanta Georgia. I am a web developer by trade and have been operating my own homepage of some sort since 1995 with this particular incarnation running since 2001 or so. I don't see this practice coming to an end anytime soon though I have been known to take extended breaks from time to time. The primary purpose of this site is to chronicle the way that my mind changes over time and, for a long time, the tagline to the site was "An evolution of the mind." In more outwardly practical purpose, the site provides a sounding board for my thoughts and crackpot theories as well as a testbed for new system designs and technologies.

Anyhow here's some information about the man:
