Bio

I've taught dance, artificial intelligence, astronomy, and physics courses. I've written software for managing inventory, calculating payroll taxes, monitoring archeology sites, and simulating the mammalian brain. I like to think this is a unique combination of experiences that gives me valuable insight. I don't think that makes me right, but I'm vain enough to think I occasionally say interesting things.
