About Me

I create software for a living and I read manuals for fun. But I also play with audio and video equipment some. I may yet start my own podcast. I read a lot of books (Bruce Sterling, Haruki Murakami, Thomas Bernhard, and many others) and I listen to all sorts of music (Glenn Gould, Paul van Dyk, Robert Rich, Steve Roach, Paul Oakenfold, Sarah McLachlan, Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf). I also watch a lot of anime and cheesy old movies.

I was a DJ and news director on my college radio station from 1985 to 1988. WMCN, Macalester College. And I played marching bass drum in the bagpipe band.

I'm a big fan of DiggNation (and digg.com), Revision3, CommandN.tv, MacBreak, Call for Help, TWiT, on10.net, inDigital, and, of course, Tiki Bar TV!

Eu gosto tambÃ©m de Nelly Furtado.
