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.

Hack the Vote Production in Boston
My new short play Hack the Vote is being performed in the Playwrights' Platform Summer Festival in Boston tonight through Saturday. Bringing this play to the stage has been a very rewarding experience for me; there were lots of opportunities to improve the script, and working with three very talented actors and an excellent director has been a delight. It's been pretty stressful, too, for a number of reasons unrelated to the quality of the script or the people involved, so I'll be very glad when it's all over. Nevertheless, I'm happy about the final product and I'm proud of the play -- which is what matters -- and I'll be even happier to rewrite the script with the new changes incorporated into it.
