Me with my identical twin sons, Mitch and Drew.

I am a systems architect from San Rafael, CA and do UNIX (FreeBSD) systems administration and PHP programming for LocalToolbox, although my degree is in philosophy from Rutgers University. I plan on contributing primarily to articles on philosophy or mathematics, though I'll try to contribute elsewhere whenever I'm able.
