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.

Fallujah in Pictures
Fallujah in Pictures has a lot of photos you won't see in the mainstream American press.
As an American taxpayer, as someone who forks over tens of thousands of dollars every year to our government, I have a very great interest in seeing what's being done with my money and in my name. I also have a right to see what's being done. (In another age, this would have made me a Republican.) For some reason, my government doesn't really want me to know what's going on in Iraq. Why is that? Are they afraid I'm not getting enough war for my money?
