That's me in the chair. After an awesome three-year run at Microsoft, I switched coasts to go to grad school at UMD. My interests in technology and politics led me to their phd program which, despite the "abject poverty" thing, I was really excited to start. As with many things in life, it turned out to be too far a deviation from my interests, and I moved back West to Seattle to once again join the web development world.

I now work again for Microsoft on the WebMatrix team. (Feel free to check it out and provide feedback!)

As for this site, it's my hope that it'll be an idea sounding board. I love discussion and (civilized) debate. I want to put my thoughts out there and hear your thoughts back. Just don't say anything that contradicts me. I'll flip out. No, but seriously, as soon as I'm done freaking out I'm generally a good listener.

Oh, one more thing. Feel free to send me blog ideas if you have them. Though the cranial circumference in my picture clearly suggests otherwise, there's only so much my brain can do on its own. (Which is to say I hit that 12% a lot faster than I anticipated, so kindly send me suggestions should they pop into your head!)
