A Bit About Me

I'm a proud and grateful native of the Bear Republic, living at the ocean with my wife Sinda, my son Kyle, a menagerie of pets, and several personal computers. I'm 49 and have already had three (slightly overlapping) careers: ten years as a professional radio broadcaster, twenty years in the personal computer industry, and nine years in medical informatics.

Interesting Links

Where I live: Virtual Reality View of Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk area (requires Java). At night, we can see the brightly lit top of the Giant Dipper rollercoaster, in the relatively near distance, from our upstairs bedrooms.

I most enjoy programming with Modula-2 and Oberon-2. Click the name of either language to learn why.

If you're tired of politics as usual,
check out the Libertarian Party

 

Yes, I have a personal blog, too. Doesn't everyone?
