About Me : I'm a grownup nerd living in the Boston burbs. I write computer programs for a living and plays for fun. I'm married to a wonderful woman, and we share a nice little house with our daughter and our cats. I'm a humanist, a technologist, an artist, and an idealist. I believe in reason, freedom, love, equality, and democracy. (Did I mention that I'm an idealist? I did, OK.) I'm also a pragmatist and an empiricist. I reject ideology and dogma, especially when they conflict with practical facts (i.e., pretty much always). I particularly hate willful ignorance, which tends to go hand-in-hand with ideology and dogma.
Like the alignment of the planets, this blog gets updated as I have the time, inspiration, and inclination to do so.

Serious Stuff
Pito Salas's musings about software economics. Good reading for anyone who makes a living in this business, since we're talking about the long-term viabibility of the industry.
Did Bush Cut Your Taxes? Lucky me: somebody else's children will be giving me an extra $3000 next year. Actually, I'm going to consider this a high-interest loan which I will eventually have to pay on demand.

Now for some fun:
Weight Watchers Cards From 1974.They weren't kidding. The commentary is worth the visit.
