@austern@sfba.socialComputer programmer, ex-physicist, husband and father, reader. I'm originally from Pittsburgh but I've now lived in the Bay Area for more than half my life. I live in Palo Alto and work at Google, where my focus is large scale data processing.
I'm interested in various things, including food and wine, math and science, politics, hiking, history, science fiction, philosophy, opera, and cute cat videos.
