Work at GitHub, life in Austin. I also make some music and people sometime call me Russel Taine: https://russeltainejr.bandcamp.com/
I have long been obsessed with the humble potato. Fun fact: its arrival in Europe led to a population boom. Why? Because it’s nutritious as hell and easy to grow. Its success also led to notable famines as populations became exceedingly dependent on them.

Scientists have long wondered about how the potato's genetic lineage came to be. Now they know: The plants are a cross between tomatoes and a plant known as Etuberosum.

It’s been a week now but having my bands name on the same poster as jack white was pretty freaking dope.
