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.

Cruisin' with Falafel Bill
When I think of Caribbean fun, I think of Bill O'Reilly.
That's why I'm really disappointed to discover that the Caribbean cruise with Bill O'Reilly has been cancelled for lack of bookings.
I can't imagine why. I mean, really, ask yourself: Who would you really rather be on a cruise boat with, than a loudmouth obnoxious control freak, boor and serial sexual harasser? It's like being stuck in an elevator with this guy, and he's yelling, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut UP!" Or else he's whispering in your ear, "once people get into that hot weather they shed their inhibitions, you know they drink during the day, they lay there and lazy [sic], they have dinner and then they come back and fool around..." For a week. And you're seasick.
Fun, huh?
