I've been trying for, uh, 4 months to come up with an intro post here and just coming up blank. And then I got to thinking about why that is.

Partly, I am just not a talking-about-myself-ish person. But partly I think I just struggle with the "everyone shout into the stream" style of social networking we have all been saddled with since 2006. I am inherently a creature of niche message boards and whatever LJ was, and my habitat has been eroded.

But anyway. Yeah. Hi. I'm here. I'm a long-time software engineer and short-time lawyer, mostly working in the messy junctions between technology, IP, cybersecurity, and privacy.
