I'm planning on writing more about myself that hopefully won't bore you to tears, but I'm just too busy right now. (Flashback: I wrote these words in 1996. I'm still too busy. Funny that.) The thing is, I keep reaching these "plateaus" in my life where I'm busier than I thought I could ever be, yet deluded that I'll get less busy. Somehow I get more busy until I reach another plateau of previously unfathomable busyness. But at least I'm not bored.

My experience with the Internet began in 1984 (using BitNet, actually). I dabbled in e-mail, Usenet, and FTP. After a few years of abstinence I rediscovered it in November of 1994. Boy had it changed! It wasn't just text anymore. I wrote my first HTML document in December 1994. I never thought I'd be a publisher. Now everyone can make vacuous information look good!

I used to program in Pascal, C, and HyperTalk. Then I got too busy to use a real programming language so I used AppleScript, PAL (Paradox), Access BASIC, and Visual BASIC. Now I just use HTML and a bit of JavaScript. Pretty soon I expect to simply spew ideas at voice-recognition application development agent software and let it do everything.

Here's my old office at Videodiscovery. Here's where my office at Microsoft in Building 27 was. Here's Sonic, another company I used to work for. It's a long walk from there to where I live (799 miles, to be exact). Here's before and after pictures of my house (notice big ugly construction junk right in the middle of the view).
