About – Wizard Mode
http://wizardmode.com/about
Wizard Mode is my personal weblog. I am sometimes a leader, a developer, a scientist, a musician, and other things besides. I am a curious and questioning sort. I am fascinated by the inner workings of the mind and the potential of technology. I solve interesting problems, some of which involve technology. I like to cook and read, and frequently do both at the same time. I am a fan of interactive fiction. I am a feminist. Middot; FavePersonal by Crowd Favorite.
