"Show us words that we could not have seen otherwise. Leave us gasping in wonder at the scope of your vision. Deceive us with the truth. Blast away our senses with the unspeakable. Leave us a trail of words that can be followed once, but never again. Leave us words in black pools that flash and disappear with the first touch. Leave us words which leave us wordless. Leave us words that laugh at our tears. Leave us words that flay the skin from our bodies. Leave us words that we will learn to fear."
Once upon a time, I wanted to be a writer. Of course, anyone can be a writer; all one has to do is write.
I wanted more than that. For many reasons, it never happened, but along the way I did learn a few things. Learning to write has been good to me in many ways.
Wherever I go, you will find my writing. However, I'd like to point out a few pieces that I'm particularly proud of.
On the Development of Humane Software was an impassioned plea for human values in a technological world.
Color Vision, Color Deficiency takes on a technical topic.
