Overview

This is a page about me. Now, before you condemn my indulgence, I offer three points in my defence. First, you clicked here. This is a passive information medium that indulges your choices, not mine. As such, if the preceding pr&eacut;cis piqued your interest, read on; otherwise, return to more substantive material. Second, this is a blog. Blogs are little more than technical containers for self-indulgent prose. It’s the nature of the genre. Third, people actually seem interested in this stuff. It’s much more convenient and efficient to refer inquiries to this page rather than respond to correspondence individually.
