research interests:
contextual design, ethnography, design cognition, information visualization and aesthetics
long-term plans:
Alright, a last minute distraction surfaced. Instead of enrolling in the Computer Science Ph.D. program at Georgia Tech come August, I am staying here in Austin. After some soul-searching (blah, blah, blah), I decided to stay and work at frog. Ribbit.
acknowledgments:
I'd like thank the following blogs (and their owners) for both design inspiration and borrowed html code/style sheets:

I hope they don't mind my pilfering too much.
