Also sometimes known as Alex Shinn, I'm currently a graduate student studying computational linguistics at NAIST. Which is to say, I procrastinate finishing my thesis by hacking endless side-projects in Scheme. When the weather is nice I like to escape the machines and explore the surrounding countryside by car or road bike. NAIST is located in Japan's Nara Prefecture, between Osaka and Kyoto. ^[1]

You can contact me at my first and last name at Gmail. If you've tried sending mail to the old synthcode.com address, I'm afraid it's sitting in an archive waiting for me to finish my Spam filter.
