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.

I'm In The Boston Theater Marathon After All

I submitted a play into consideration for the Boston Theater Marathon, but it didn't make the cut this year. That doesn't bother me so much; I've been rejected plenty of times before, and after all, I have had a play in the Marathon (Get Out of My American Way at BTM IV). So I've got nothing to complain about.

At the same time, it's a big event, one of the biggest on the local theater scene, and it's not something that I want to miss out on. So it's a real thrill to say that I will be on stage at the BTM -- as an actor! I will be playing the part of MAN2 in Gail Phaneuf's play Random Selection. It's a hilarious piece, and I'm looking forward to doing the role. If you get the chance, check out the Marathon! It's a great event.
