(Last updated 18 January 2008)
I'm 28 years old and I graduated from Bridgewater State College
(Bridgewater, Massachusetts, USA) a few years ago with a mathematics
degree and computer science minor. I'm a hard-core computer geek, and
you'll find several useful programs and articles on my site. I work as a
programmer on the internal web site for a big policy research company.

== Proginoskes
I often use the handle "Proginoskes" in various places on the Internet --
sometimes shortened as "Progo" like in my AIM handle and my SDF username.
This comes from the book //A Wind in the Door// by Madeleine L'Engle.
Proginoskes was a weird character who, when he materialized, looked like a
drive of dragons. The sketch to the right was done by my sister Erin and
based on the picture on the front of the paperback edition of the book.
The following is a description of him as it appears in the book:
<<
Yes. Charles Wallace's drive of dragons [which he thought he had seen
before] was a single creature, although Meg was not at all surprised that
Charles Wallace has confused this fierce, wild being with dragons. She had
the feeling that she never saw all of it at once, and which of all these
eyes could she meet? merry eyes, ferocious eyes, kitten eyes, dragon eyes,
opening and closing, looking at her, looking at Charles Wallace and Calvin
and the strange tall man. And wings, wings in constant motion, covering
and uncovering the eyes. When the wings were spread out they had a span of
at least ten feet, and when they were all folded in, the creature
resembled a misty, feathery sphere. Little spurts of flame and smoke
spouted up between the wings; it could certainly start a grass fire if it
weren't careful. Meg did not wonder that Charles Wallace had not
approached it.
