About me

Electrical, computer, and software engineer; education and open-source geek. I spend most of my spare cycles on Sugar Labs and OLPC. I also live elsewhere on the internet.

Why am I here? The internet was the first place I could have group conversations - I'm hearing impaired, and lipreading doesn't scale well - so while people talk about translating what they know about conversations IRL to the web, I'm listening and trying to figure out how to go in the opposite direction. Besides, the chance to toss around ideas on the internet about how the internet can be used to talk about the internet (and how it can be used to talk about the internet...) had too meta for me to pass it up.
