About

So you’ve somehow stumbled upon my little corner of the Internet. I hold no delusions that anybody besides me actually cares about my opinions, rantings, and thoughts. I dump my brain here for many of the same reasons Steve Maine blogs. I suppose that’s not really all that unexpected, since he is the one who got me into this whole practice in the first place. I think the only place where he and I differ is that I don’t blog in the laundromat.

So about what do I write? Anything that comes to mind. I work and play in the technology field, in both .NET and Java, so that is a common topic. I have been working at the Library of Congress for the past six years, so the theoretical and practical issues of digital libraries is pretty forefront in my mind. I also think about lots of other things, and I spend a lot of time doing many different things. I’ll write about those, too. Feel free to ignore what I’m talking about. I categorize my ramblings to help make it a bit easier.

And who are the players in this little morality play? Well, first of all, there’s me. I’m a computer geek. I like to read, play games, drink whisky, and watch the Cubs. I am deeply involved in my neighborhood, and serve as an Advisory Neighborhood Comissioner in the District.

My amazing wife, Hedda, has been my partner since 2003. She has a master’s degree in social work and works for the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs. She’s the Type A personality in the relationship, and I’m the Type B that balances the whole thing out.

So if you’re still reading, you must be really interested. I don’t have anything else interesting to say here, so just head on back to the blog.
