More about me

I'm a mid-life career changer. After some 20+ years of variously living on the belt-sander of Bill Gates' business model, I decided to redefine my opportunities by returning to school and completing my PhD in Philosophy. I am now living the Rock'n'Roll life of a professional academic, and wondering if there's enough time in the universe to pay off my student loans. I actually have a book that can be found on Amazon (WAY down from the "best sellers"), as well as a few other publications and public presentations here and there. I presently keep house with my three cats, who despair of my ever learning anything interesting.
