This is for my reference as much as yours.
My GitHub Repository. Thinking this might be the home of larger projects. For now, this page lives there.
My Google Code Repository, small, experimental, and one-off stuff pretty much.
Here's my Amazon Profile, including ridiculously bloated, but interesting for historical perspective, Wish Lists.
Diligent perusal will reveal that I Must Love Beer.

Entities with which I am somewhat familiar
Right now I work at Rally. It doesn't suck.
I worked at Thoughtworks for a good while. I have the frequent flier miles to prove it.
My buddy Karan does spiffy things with graphics and animation.
My stepmom happens to be a great SAT, ACT, college admission prep, etc. coach. Check her out!
My wife works with Cotton Council International, bring U.S. Cotton to buyers in various other countries.
My brother in law is an agent and recruiter in Boulder. Looking for a change?
My freshman year roommate practices Law in the 'burbs of Seattle.
For a number of years, I lived in Brussels, Belgium. Those were formative years.
I was born and raised in Oregon. I mean, before that whole Brussels escapade.
Now I live in Boulder, which I'd been visiting for years and years prior - finally decided it was time to just move, already.
I also lived in Costa Rica for a Load of Years.
Oh yeah - I lived in Budapest for a little bit, where I was ostensibly studying math in the BSM program, but in reality was mostly learning Hungarian and railing around Europe.
... I also lived in Dusseldorf for a couple years. That was AMS's fault (now absorbed by CGI)
In addition to Computer Science, I'm a student of Linguistics and Languages. I'm also a minor European History buff.
I studied that CS stuff at Tufts and Ohio State in Columbus. I miss Academics a bit.
And some others, can't really say they're here to stay … and they are emphatically in no order at all. In fact, they are in disorder. Hence the Filter button. Which is mildly embarrasingly primitive. |
