Picture, Sept 1995, when I was a student at Hampshire College.

I now live in Seattle, Washington and worked for a while at Skylight Software before moving on to my latest adventure at Amazon.com. This past fall (1997) I was teaching physics at Vermont Technical College, in Randolph Center, Vermont.

My favorite part of my home-page are some documents and thoughts relating to my educational experiences, educational philosophy, and other related stuff, esp stuff about Hampshire. My Division III is on the web (everything except some of the appendices) -- this is roughly the equivalent of a thesis, done by all students in their final year at Hampshire College; check it out: The Story of My Becoming a Becoming Person, Finding My Calling, and Discovering the Human Soul: The Making of an Educator Here is a little info on a school I thought about starting soon after graduating from Hampshire. Here's some interesting Personal Information that's just stuff I had lying around my hard-drive and is less related to formal education. It's the second-best part. Here's my Creed. Also, here is the emergent AHEN Alternative Higher Education Network) Home-Page. Finally, a little photo gallery, my paper on Johnston and Hampshire, and some comments from people who have visited this home page or my thesis and had some things to say.

Now go read about the Experimental Program in Education and Community at Hampshire College. 

Some other stuff that is possibly interesting to you

• Ginsberg's Theorem
• Some dictionaries.
• I am a strong proponent and an administrator of the Hampshire Student Information Network.
• My Bookmark File.
• I think Linux is hot stuff. My computer (December 94) had its 1st birthday and has been running Linux the whole while. I am very proud of all that it is doing for my education. It could do the same for yours!
• Here's the ISIS Home Page, which I set up for them. Also, the Lemelson Home Page by me.

Some great ideas that are stalled in the water (but maybe you could make them be all they could be!)

• The Computer Science Idea Database.
• Here's the Hampshire Hampshire Education Page, which you should all contribute your ideas and experiences to, and also look at everybody else's.
• Computer-Science students worked together in S94 to have weekly meetings to discuss issues of computer science in Hampshire and around the world. Probably not the first time it was tried, nor the last...
