Unabashed lefty married to a terrific woman. Animal lover, especially cats but also dogs, birds—heck all of 'em. Audiophile, vinyl collector. Retired urban planner. Failed novelist.USAF Vietnam vet. Currently a big John Fahey fan. Born in Chicago, lived in Denver, Colorado Springs, St Louis, DC; in San Diego since 1999 and not about to depart until climate change demands it.

I'm a philomath (many interests; call it polymath-wanna-be) professional computer programmer in Silicon Valley, specializing in operating systems, languages/compilers, sometimes AI, usually non-traditional parallel software and hardware architectures.

Ars longa, vita brevis.

I program #SpringBoot web services and have now managed to avoid managing people. I used to program dev tools & before that, program mobile phones.

Once ran the same early Windows 8 build instance on both a hypervisor and native boot.

Old enough to remember #Symbian #C++.

I really like painting miniature figures like those produced for #warhammer, but am not so keen on #GamesWorkshop.

#OnePageRules is my current #TableTop #Wargaming jam.

Involved in some kind of computer bullshit.

#Genre researcher and #Grundtvig-scholar. Cheerleader, content accumulator, climate worrier (and sometimes warrior). Father of four. Recovering mansplainer; wannabe feminist. Dane; whatever that is. #Wikipedia admirer.

Be advised: I edit my toots a lot. Almost all of it proofreading.

#dogs, #atheist, grandpa, and a #geocacher.
 Add #introvert to the list, too.
#Wisconsin native. I love #flyfishing the spring creeks of the driftless area (always catch and release).
Pour-over #coffee with fresh roasted beans. The only way to go!

 I always follow back and boost often!
