Wow! So I just realized I have not updated this page in forever and ever and ever. That's 'cause I'm working on a redesign and recontent, I promise! If you are really craving more current info, try The Idea Salon, mon weblogue. If Movable Type did not hate me, I would even SSI a list of entries and their dates here, but no, that appears that it will not happen. We shall see. Anyway, read my weblogue!

Halt! Who goes there?

If you can't view this page properly, you need a standards compliant browser. Read up on it at the Web Standards Project's Browser Upgrade Campaign. So far, OmniWeb and Netscape 4.76 are known not to work.

And you may find yourself browsing the Internet,
And you may find yourself in another part of the world,
And you may find yourself behind the wall of a large server farm,
And you may find yourself in a beautiful subnet, with a beautiful netmask,
And you may ask yourself: Well, how did I get here?

As you may or may not have gathered, this is my writing-desk, my escritoire, a sort of eclectic stack of papers and objets d'art and CDs and envelopes and empty glasses, much like any red-blooded American male's desk. It's what I call home, a little corner of Eric S. Raymond's enormous Internet bazaar.

You may also have gathered that I am a student at Northwestern University; the astute browser will have noticed the URL, and the casual browser may have discovered the nearly-accurate color scheme. I'll be a student at Medill, the School of Journalism, come late September.

I will not elaborate here, for that is what an information page is for. To tide you over, I will explain briefly my navigational system: the chicklet buttons at the top are links to sections of the site, and each section may contain sub-sections (in which case you will see a drill-down menu, à la Yahoo!, et al.). At the bottom of every page is a permanent link, one which you can bookmark. I promise that, so long as PUBWEB gives me space, I'll leave them in place, even if the layout changes. Also, my email address is at the bottom, and the information is available from the contact page.
