This is the user page for Robert J. Nagle, a writer and weblogger based in Houston, Texas. He was born in New York City, received a Bachelor's in English from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and a master's degree in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

Robert writes fiction under various pseudonyms. He has been writing the idiotprogrammer weblog since 2001.

Here's a link to an extended biography page written by Robert Nagle himself.

Here is a list of writes/edits I've done on wikipedia.

Interests: Creative Commons, literary trends, Eastern Europe, copyright reform, ebook technologies and human factors.

He has written articles for several publications: Slashdot.org, kuro5hin.org, Houston Chronicle. Most recently he has written regular articles for teleread.org.

Although Robert publishes most of his creative writing pseudonymously, in fact he is committed to putting all his personal writing on the web for free under Creative Commons licenses. In other words: everything is free; you just need to find it!
