Computers have always been a big deal in my life and I was lucky enough to start programming as a kid, though with BASIC, when I was 12. Took my first college computer programming course also when I was 12 at a local community college--my mom thought I was a genius kid--and was bored out of my mind. But was happier when as part of the Duke University Talent Identification Program (TIP) I learned structured C from a researcher on loan from the IBM Research Triangle one happy summer when I was 16.

However I didn't become a professional developer for quite some time, and when I finally did become one--working for a couple of corporations--I found myself quickly disenchanted and quit one day. But I later developed Class Viewer.

Besides my open source project I have a lot of varied interests so I maintain three blogs, of which one is for my open source project:

To give a sampling of my writings over the years, covering my wide interests from mathematics to poetry, I've used Scribd:

It has occurred to me that noting that I'm a black guy might actually help others to not limit themselves. Race does not matter. But I remember when I was a black kid growing up in Georgia it DID help me to hear that from others, so maybe it's worth it to say here.

Of course I grew up in the 80's so is it still something that needs to be said in the 21st century?

Possibly, I fear it still is such a silly world, still. But that's a human issue. Computers don't know or care about your race.

I have been on hiatus from professional software development for years now as I ponder various things. So my open source project is how I keep at least in some way connected to the development world.

Currently live in San Francisco.
