My Soc.Bio
It is (or used to be) sort of a tradition on soc.bi to post a bio at some point in a fairly simple "attribute:value" format. This is mine, more or less updated to keep up with where I think my life is. I won't even try to guess where it is going. (NB At four years since last update, this got a little bit behind.)
