I have been a professional software engineer for over 10 years.
I have written many kinds of software, but my particular strengths are interactive graphics applications,
compilers and interpreters, and algorithms.
I also enjoy writing, woodworking, and home improvement. Also this. NVConsumer.

ThinkFun (formerly Binary Arts) is positively my favorite company in the entire world. Every toy/game/puzzle of theirs I've ever owned is just wonderful. Our latest is the Hoppers puzzle we bought our daughter. She also likes Rush Hour a lot. They're well-made, fun yet challenging, and best of all, they come with a whole bunch of cards with initial configurations ranging from easy to really hard, so they aren't like most puzzles where you solve it and you're done forever. (BTW, embarassingly enough, she's better at both of these than I am!) My all-time favorite was Top-Spin, which doesn't appear to be made any more.| permalink
