A warm welcome to all visitors! I am, by profession, a skeptical technologist of sorts. My avocational interests, listed below, are wide and varied. I'm an avid reader and a catechumen of the Catholic Church. I am also a contributor to LibriVox and PGDP.
My areas of (varying levels of) expertise:
- Human factors, Usability, User experience, and User-centered design
- The disciplines of cognitive, evolutionary, and social psychology; philosophy of mind
- John Henry Newman, The Oxford Movement, The Anglican Communion, and bits of Catholic and Thomistic theology
- Authors C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, their literary circle, Lord of the Rings, and Christian apologetics
- Authors J.D. Salinger, Flannery O'Connor, and Cormac McCarthy
- Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, folk music, outlaw country, and contemporary classical music
- American and Texas history
- Iceland
- Mythology (Greek, Norse), antiquities, the medieval period
