I'm director of technology at a non-profit, politically-oriented organization in the Washington, D.C. area. Prior to my entrance into computer science I spent 10 years in the publishing industry. Two weeks ago I founded my own blog, Skeptics Club. It's my attempt to speak words of hope to those who would like to believe if only they could. Suddenly, I have experienced what I think they call "flames," though mostly only because people seem to doubt my (easily verifiable) identity. Glad to report that my identity no longer seems to be an issue. Glad to be on Free Republic.
