Climate Change

My Public Persona

Being privacy-conscious, we’ll skip the usual part where I offer up gratuitous personal details. I’ve never thought personal web pages were a very good idea, and in these days of identity theft and phishing, I feel vindicated for having maintained that distinction since the beginning.

What you’ll find here is a description of my “public persona”. That means it’s heavily biased toward the things I’ve done professionally, along with various public writings I’ve done, mostly humor and politics. For a long time, I tried not to offer any pictures. But at this point, even if I didn’t, you could find any of a number of pictures of me through various search engines. So I finally decided I’d save you that trouble.

Then again, none of those issues will matter at all if we don’t solve the Climate Change problem. Please take this matter seriously. I’ve been trying to keep my climate change page regularly updated with recent news.
