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.

Back to Normal, Whatever That Means
I admit it, I've gone way overboard blogging political stuff. My blog is definitely an oddball, not only because I don't try to maintain a narrow focus on a single topic, but because I try to give equal weight tomy multiple personalities the wide range of my interests. So I'll be getting back to programming, playwriting, and general geekitude, just as if the world was perfectly fine.
Meanwhile, I've still got plays to submit. First stop: the Boston Theater Marathon. I've been accepted into the BTM once, which is not bad for four attempts. Getting into the Marathon is a great thrill for an aspiring local playwright. One thing which always gets to me about the Marathon is the depressing regularity with which scripts about the Red Sox and their curse are accepted. Now that the Sox have finally won the Series and -- we hope -- abolished the curse -- dare I hope that plays NOT about the Sox now have a better chance of getting in? Cause frankly, I got a lot to say, but when it comes to the Sox, I got nothin'.
