This page isn't very fancy; it's really just the places I want to visit. I use it as the default page with which to start my web browser. That is, it's really my "home" page. [Actually, by default I skip everything up to the technical links.]
This page is intended to be readable with any browser. It does not use any enhancements that are particular to a specific browser. This doesn't mean it will work perfectly on every browser, because they're all buggy. It does mean that I use a minimum of inline graphics, and provide alternative text for each. I consider this page a tool, and try to limit its contents to meaningful content or useful links.
[Me] [Tech] [Search and Reference] [Boston] [My Friends] [My Interests]
I'm married and have a child.
I am an embedded systems programmer, and mostly work on forwarding the Internet Protocol. I am one of the inventors on patent number 6,003,077. In various ways, I've been doing data forwarding in networking devices for a number of years now, at a bunch of failed startups. These days, I'm doing it for Ericsson, the Swedish wireless-phone giant, where I work for the Redback subsidiary.
I have a separate page to list places I've been.
I play a lot of board games, occasionally including the ones in my own board game collection. And (technically not a board game) I own a Twilight Zone pinball machine. I also own a Taylor dreadnought guitar, which I bought in the spring of 2000 from the Music Emporium in Lexington, MA.
I used to maintain a Web page for the RiverFolk Concert Series at the Blackstone River Theatre in Cumberland, RI, but they do it themselves now. Closer to my current home, there's a list of Boston Area coffeehouses.

If you're interested in writing for a living, learn about the industry from reputable sources. Don't be taken in by folks like the 20 worst agents (that's according to Writer Beware, of the Science Fiction Writers of America, but Preditors and Editors might have some good hints too). And in particular, Barbara Bauer has made a pest of herself online (including the impressively dumb idea of suing Wikipedia).
My collection of SCA and SF (Society for Creative Anachronism and Speculative/Science Fiction) links.
