About
My name is Thadeus Burgess (the-dee-us burr-jeh-ss). I am a software engineer passionate about handling large amounts of data, intelligent systems, and bleeding edge web technologies. Programming is something I enjoy immensely.
Along with programming, other passions of mine include, building robots, photography, music, friends, family, and appreciating life.

- The python - The executable psuedocode
- Music Notes - Music is a gift to the soul
- Headset - Counter Strike, Starcraft, Diablo, Everquest, Planetside, Star Wars Galaxies
- Stargate - The single most awesome scifi series ever made.
- Evil Cat - I have two of them... psychotic little creatures!
- Gnome - Yes... I am a garden gnome.
- Ubuntu - A great, simplistic, just works linux system
This Site
This site is written with flask. I choose flask because it is a very simple, get out of the way type of framework, yet it allows a project to scale quite largely. I have used flask several times in large scale production with excellent results.
The site is codenamed Aoide.
