Hi, my name is Leif. I'm a graduate student in computer science at the University of Texas at Austin. I spend a good bit of time writing software and thinking about computers and language. I also like to bake pies, dig in the garden, ride my bike, and make things. Surprisingly, there is more than one Leif Johnson in Austin. My doppelganger runs a local Ford empire. He says his name like leaf (rhymes with chief), while I say mine like lafe (rhymes with safe).

Here are links to a few online places that I enjoy :  anne,  cartography, longform,  make,  maps,  paul,  peter,  shopkeepers,  ted, wingo ; here are some places where you can find me online :  etsy,  github,  goodreads,  last.fm,  sutros,  twitter ; and here are some books I've read recently :

If you'd like to get in touch, please send email to leif@leifjohnson.net. In the meantime, have a look around, and enjoy !
