This is a old home page (1/1/1999) and project page.
If you want to look at an earlier effort see coast.net. It's the home of the Tofu Turkey!
Much more recent stuff is on my blog called Vacuum which runs on Typepad.
I'm working on some projects where it's been handy to take notes on a web page. Chief among these is Vacuum, a mailing list I'm running for about 150 people, and a2b3, a lunch group which meets weekly on Thursdays at Eastern Accents.
Some effort has been made to make things tidy and neat, but please don't read this page as an example of how to design beautiful web pages.
I have work underway for maps and links to interesting university research.
A now-defunct occasional newsletter called Tubed reported on the Kobe Earthquake and Oklahoma Federal Building bombings and got me quoted in the New York Times once. Both are currently not available on line for various reasons.
