About meSystem designer, product manager, and usability consultant. Studied computer science, cognitive science, psychology, and artificial intelligence in college.

Interests and professional experience in healthcare IT, aviation, telecommunications, and AI (machine vision and robotics)

My profile photo is from 'Sealab 2020' (yes, I expected to spend MY 21st century underwater, back in the 1970s).

I started a group to talk about Lisp and Scheme books, as those languages and concepts from them are enjoying a renaissance of sorts.

Started the [Schemers and Lispers] group.

About my libraryI enjoy books with the following themes:
- Human factors, usability, system design
- Futures studies, forecasting tools
- Software engineering, computer science
- Science and technology generally
- Science fiction (distopian and utopian)
- Business trends ("fad surfing in the boardroom")
- Things from the 1970s (the Environmental movement)
