Where I’ve been

I’m not a big fan of online resumes. If you want one, you should at least be willing to email me and explain why. Instead, think of these links as stops along the road that brought me here:

My undergraduate alma mater, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The home page for the MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB), the central repository of MIT computer culture.
Of course, you can't mention MIT without a pointer to its famous hacks.
Three thousand miles, and many many worlds away, you find my graduate school, University of California at Santa Barbara.
Solid State Technology and Semiconductor Online helped me build my analytical skills and my understanding of the semiconductor manufacturing industry. You can find representative clips from those and other publications here.

Where I am now

My business address in cyberspace is Thin Film Manufacturing. It is the place to look for my thoughts about the semiconductor manufacturing industry and its business and technology issues.
When I’m not wearing my Semiconductor Industry Pundit hat, you can often find me on an aikido mat.
I’m also a more or less avid chessplayer. For a game of blitz, try Chess Net, where my userid is kewms. The Week in Chess is probably the best online source for news about top level chess.
Like most writers, I read voraciously. The Bookstore has reviews and links for some of the books that have caught my eye lately.

Where I'm going

Well, as John Maynard Keynes said, "In the long run, we are all dead." In the meantime, this is the space where I talk about what I'm reading, watching, listening to, and working on. That makes it the most interesting part of the page (I hope), but also the part requiring the most work. While I putter, you can email me to make suggestions.

Interesting links

Links to cool stuff on the web that doesn't really fit anywhere else.

The Map Projection Home Page has everything you ever wanted to know about maps and cartography, from very basic information about projections to a bibliography for professionals.
I found The Ancient Egypt Site while looking for information about hieroglyphics. It has that, but also detailed history, maps of the City of the Dead at Saqqara, and more.
Want to know what to give for Rosh Hashanah? Or what Ramadan is all about? Beliefnet is a vast compendium of information and discussion related to world religions and spiritual practices. All presented in a respectful, non-partisan way.

A word about copyright

Information wants to be free, but writing is hard work and even writers have to eat. If you find these pages useful, feel free to share the link with your friends. Feel free to email me and ask permission for other uses. But be aware that I will ruthlessly enforce the copyright notice below. Not because I need the money--this page is free, after all--but on behalf of every writer who's ever starved in penniless obscurity.
