About meI am Data Analyst plying my trade in Portland, OR. Once upon a time I was a grad student student in Logic and Computation at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in philosophy of science and formal epistemology.

My undergraduate degrees are in philosophy and psychology (with a minor in computer information systems). My non-philosophical interests include complex systems theory, social psychology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary theory, perception, cognitive psychology, political theory, liberalism, propaganda, psychoceramics, the history of computing, and cognitive neuroscience.

I am culture junkie—both high and low. I spend more time than is decent reading feeds, newspapers, speculative fiction, journals, popular science, classic novels, graphic novels (ok, they are comics).
