Code

I work on NetLogo, an open-source DIY programming language for kids, teachers, and scientists. [since 2001]

I like Scala [since 2008]. NetLogo is made with Scala. I co-organize the Boston Scala Meetup [since 2011] and the Northeast Scala Symposium [since 2012]. I’m available for Scala consulting via Composable Solutions [since 2012].

My Twitter feed is mainly about programming. All my code is on GitHub. See also my LinkedIn profile.

Photos

I’m active on Flickr [since 2005] and Instagram [since 2011].

Music

I keep a comprehensive Jandek site [since 1994]. Some of my photos are of musicians. Here’s a log of recent listening (& reading, viewing); see also last.fm.
