Hobronto Contrivance
Chris Stout
About this dude.

My name is Chris Stout. I frequently use the pseudonym "Hobronto" which is why you see it all over the place. I build and design things - sometimes professionally, sometimes just on a lark. I live in Austin, TX. I have a dog named Buck and a cat named Lady Puss Puss.

My name is Chris Stout-Hazard. I used to use the pseudonym "Hobronto." I have a furniture company now, and the stuff I build these days is physical more than digital. I live, hilariously, in Omaha, NE on a farm with my husband and a dog named Howdy and another dog named Rooster and some chickens. W.T.F.

What is HOBRONTOCONTRIVANCE?

This site is a collection of writings, photography, art, and other miscellanea. I started it a very long time ago. Maybe it's time to bring it back.

What's a "hobronto"?

A contraction of sorts. It stands for "home office brontosaurus" because I work at home (still! all these years later!) and like dinosaurs.

Projects.

I used to have a bunch of goofy web projects. They're all gone. Just this.

  • Roger + Chris. I built a little custom furniture company. Our factory is in North Carolina, our furniture is exceptional, and we've shipped all over the world.
