About this website

First comes knowledge, then the doing of the job. And much later, perhaps after you’re dead, something grows from what you’ve done. – Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273), Mathnawi, V, 1053

Welcome to my home on the web! I hope it captures the spirit of Rumi and provides information about both my professional and personal interests. I’m sure you’ll find something of interest – there is lots to read! If you want the news to come to you, subscribe to my RSS feed(s) = you’ll find them on the left and in the address bar.
