Hi, I'm a nerd. 
I write, and sometimes I publish those writings on my blog, Pursuing Calefaction. More often I'll write trivia here. I brew (award-winning!) beer on my stove and also with my friends; details are on the HomeBrewing section of the wiki. Also an elected member of the HCoop Board of Directors.

Resume: Resume-2012.doc
Things I need to do
Fix my wiki
- Style?
finish editing Winterswatch so I can publish it
Suggestions for the Reading Stack
Death on a Friday Afternooon (Neuhaus) - Pride & Prejudice
- Jennifer Government
- Gods Behaving Badly (Phillips)
- Alcestis (Beutner)
- John McWhorter -- Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue: The Untold Story of English, Language Interrupted: Signs of Non-Native Acquisition in Standard Language Grammars
Projects on the back burner
design & build floor-to-ceiling bookshelves
a wooden, folding 4'x3' game table
a laser pen!
Prep next War of the Ring board for play.
Crazy ideas I come up with
- A frisk (or whatever) board display server with a handheld API that hooks up to a projector suspended over a table surface!
