Does anyone know who or what organization is behind A9T9? It seems the author/source is somewhat obscured. It would be important to know before using for more than a hobby project.

a9t9 here :-)

You find some information about me on http://blog.a9t9.com/p/about-this-blog.html

(a9t9) is a place where I experiment with side projects, and I want to keep this separate from my day job. Therefore I am somewhat stingy with the personal information on the blog. That said, you are welcome to email me for details.
