Bio:Vocationally, I'm an Associate Professor of Computer Science at St. Cloud State University. This consumes most of my time (including time that could be devoted to reading & writing in this venue).
Otherwise I'm:
* Playing violin & mandolin in various contexts.
* Listening to live music (recorded otherwise)
* Exercising: downhill skiing (when I can get out West, dreaming about it otherwise), table tennis, bicycling, ultimate (not lately), or at a health club (boring...)
* Attending the odd skiffy event
* Reading stuff
* Watching stuff
* Sleep???

Too many of my friends are living vicariously through this medium, so I guess I have to jump off the cliff too. Sigh...
