Looks like movable types needs more than one entry for me to test the looks of the blog. I might as well start by introducing myself as this seems like a polite thing to do.
I'm in my thirties, happily married, living near San Francisco, almost with ocean view. I'm originally from Germany, studied computer science there and now I earn a living in a big software company in the Bay Area. I'm a decent basketball player and a walking NBA dictionary.
I just started this blog because I hope blogging will force me into more discipline and will help me make progress with the things I like to accomplish in my spare time. The lofty goal is to slowly re-read the math and cs courses from college I long ago have forgotten. Along the way I also want to pick up Haskell. I'm a recovering Java Junkie and I feel I need a new mindset, an intellectual change of scenery.
