I’m a web developer and science fiction writer living in the Greater Seattle area with my wife Omaha, two daughters, and a cat.   I was the first web development expert for Spry (the Internet In A Box people) back in 1994, eventually moving to CompuServe where I did in-house web development and management for a variety of CompuServe clients including Genie Industries, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, AC Nielsen, Pacific Power and Light, and Baywatch.com.

I currently work at Isilon Systems, Inc., as senior developer for the Administrative Application Server.  My primary development languages are Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS, with some C, some Bourne, and a smattering of whatever else I happen to need at the moment.  My principle development environment is Emacs running under Linux.  Work forces me to use CentOS, but I run Gentoo at home.
