About Me

..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Update - I'm sorry all you people who love MySpace, but since I live in the Silicon Valley now, I use Facebook. Can you please find me? I'll only check MySpace about once every six months ;)

I am working at Yahoo! in the search department. I am in graduate school studying Library and Information Science, and am almost finished (2 more classes - yay!)

Also, I am raising two beautiful children, one boy and one girl.

I would like to meet F.W. Lancaster (a LIS theorist) as well as Marcia J. Bates (another LIS professional). I don't know if I would have much to say to them, let's at least say though that I would love to see them lecture. I would like to meet many famous authors dead and gone: Hemingway, Camus, Bukowski, many others.

Also, I love computers, technology, and communication. So, of course, this is one of my favorite songs (click to play "Computerworld" by Kraftwerk):
