Today's date is

My mother, Edna Casman, does acrylic paintings. I think she's amazing, but don't take my word for it...



I was born in Connecticut, raised in New Mexico. I call New Mexico home, even though I haven't really lived there for quite a while. I've been in California and Japan for a lot of years, but I still miss the New Mexican green chili, the wide open skies, and the clear air. I was a sysadmin on Sun boxes for five years, a technology analyst in Tokyo covering Japanese IT, and co-founder of an Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Linux company. I moved to San Francisco in 1999 and have worked at Turbolinux, Intrinsic Graphics, Tablus, and Seclarity, all software startups of varying sizes. Currently, I work for Page One PR, focusing on software clients in the open source space. I have a BA in Asian Studies and Japanese from Connecticut College and an MA in East Asian Studies from Stanford.


I spend any free time playing lots of ice hockey. I like to run, hike, ski... Many outdoor sports. I've even gotten into sailing, too.

I'm doing some writing these days. And some Twittering...
