[NOTE TO PEOPLE I'VE BEEN OUT OF TOUCH WITH: My old EFF e-mail address doesn't work any more; use mech~AT~well.com (change "~AT~" to the at-sign of course.)]

I'm some weird-ass mixture of webnerd, P.R. maven, pool player, civil liberties spokesthing, scholar, barfly, curmudgeon, soundingboard , extroverted introvert (and vice-versa), scientist and artist, driven and lazy, gregariously shy and shly gregarious.

I lived for almost a decade in San Francisco, but moved to Toronto, Ontario in Feb. 2005, thence to Albuquerque, NM in Sep. 2006.

Professionally, I am a web developer (freelance), and was recently tech director at a Toronto company called Integrity Incorporated (www.IntegrityIncorporated.com). Previously, I worked for about 9 years with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (www.eff.org). I specialize in helping sites get out of the "Browser Wars" by redesigning with strict adherence to Internet standards so that the sites work in all modern browsers and are easy to maintain and update.

Avocationally, I sometimes go to industro-fetish-goth kinds of clubs, play local competitive pool, dabble in darts, and so forth and things. I like movies a lot, and live music

I am a big fan of public transit. I am not a morning person. An intellectual but not a snob. Oh, and I'm very silly most of the time. Sometimes it also refers to itself in the first person singular neuter, as if it were an alien space god. Also, it has a BEEG fat kitty, who eats pistachios, hot peppers and alfalfa sprouts for some reason.

My Myers-Briggs (MBTI) personality type is mostly INTP, but I'm on the cusp between INTP (informative engineers, designers, architects), ENTP (directive engineers, inventors, setters of new standards), INFP (informative mediators, tutors, monastics), and ENFP (directive mediators, advocates, heralds). This is rather curious since at least 3 of these 4 personality types are found in 1-3% or less of the general population! Mostly I'm INTP, though.
