passion

odi et amo

So wrote Catullus, in experssing how love can tear us up sometimes. In this case, it's not so deep; this is just a list of stuff that gets a reaction out of me, one way or another.

loves

• My kids
• The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
• Progressive values.
• Religious studies
  • Union of Reform Judaism.
  • Unitarian-Universalist Association
  • Mechon-Mamre - a great scource of Jewish online texts.
  • More on Judaism in general
• Human languages - any and all, but especially:
  • Signed languages
  • Ancient languages
• Linguistics - which isn't necessarily the same as languages.
  • What is linguistics
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Signed language linguistics
  • For a list of things I've done in the field, check out my CV.

  • Lego robots
  • MIT's Lego Robotics class
  • Not Quite C. It doesn't suck.

  • Great Books
  • Pretty much anything by J. R. R. Tolkien

  • Parallax, Inc., home of the Stamp
  • MacBS2, the only Stamp IDE written for the Mac
