About This Blog

Southern Oregon, December 2019

I just shut down my magazine after ten years.

PragPub served up articles for programmers, much like Dr. Dobb’s Journal, where I was editor-in-chief and editor-at-large for 25 years.

Right now I’m focusing my writing on this blog, which is just getting started. It will cover programming and technology and writing and humor and puzzles and stuff for kids and travel and entertainment and nostalgia and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Other than that, having sold her organic farm / gourmet restaurant / artisan bakery, Nancy and I are living on a wild and scenic river in southern Oregon and making frequent trips around North America in an RV named Serenity.
