Stephen<p>I've had this account for a few years, but maybe it's time for an <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>.</p><p>Hi! I'm Stephen. I have a large number of interests, including collecting <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/stationery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stationery</span></a> (particularly <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/fountainpen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fountainpen</span></a>), riding my <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycle</span></a> (aka <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a>), reading (particularly <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scifi</span></a>, <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyberpunk</span></a>), listening to <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> (<a href="https://octodon.social/tags/postpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postpunk</span></a> and <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/postbop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postbop</span></a> primarily), and wearing clothes. Most of my free time is taken up by being the personal gentleman of Ruckus Q. Ruckus, a <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/flamepoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flamepoint</span></a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cat</span></a>. </p><p>Professionally, I'm an <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/archaeologist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeologist</span></a> working in the Cultural Resource Management (<a href="https://octodon.social/tags/crmarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crmarch</span></a>) industry. I've recently transitioned from a field-heavy position to one that is primarily office based. As of spring 2022, my position is that of archaeological technologist (aka technomancer). I'm basically a data-wrangler who shepherds archaeological data from the early planning, desktop, phase, through fieldwork, labwork, analysis, and finally to curation. This involves a variety of technological interests including <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/GIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GIS</span></a>, <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a>, <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/database" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>database</span></a> (<a href="https://octodon.social/tags/filemaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filemaker</span></a>, mostly), <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/photogrammetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photogrammetry</span></a>, <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/desktoppublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>desktoppublishing</span></a>, &c. </p><p>On the birb platform, my personal and professional interests were split into two accounts, but I'm attempting to merge the streams here.</p>
