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.

Food Force
I really love shooters, but a game doesn't need shooting in it for me to be interested. I think I'll be interested in checking out Food Force from that hotbed of game development the World Food Program. It's definitely a different idea: the player is a Food Aid worker trying to accomplish missions in hostile territory. Although the game appears to be targeted at a younger demo than me, I like the general idea. If it's done well, this could be one of those quirky, non-mainstream sim games that I do, in fact, love (like Orbiter).
