I’m Joel Watts: husband of Blake and father of Zoe.
We live in Houston, Texas where I’m part of the family business. My job is Web development and my primary hobby is… Web development; it’s a good fit for me. The company is still young, but expect to see big things from us in the future.
Historically, I’ve been a bit of a recluse; though you’ll find me (attempting to be) active in the Django and OpenID communities. Much of the work I do involves distributed identity on the Internet, but I also have other interests.
Use email to contact me, or track me down elsewhere online — usually as jpwatts.

We don’t need no irons, let the State of Texas perm.
Perm, State of Texas, perm.

Today I added
django-pgfields. It’s a set of model field subclasses I keep rewriting for use with PostgreSQL. http://bit.ly/bAAvKS -
I’m sick of code rotting on my hard drive. I’m working on moving more of it to @github, so it can rot there instead.

It’s 2010 and I still handle at least four paper checks each month.
Where’s my jet pack?
