I’ve been on the Internet a long time. I had my first personal web site in 1994, and registered my first domain, borasky-research.net, in 2001. And I’ve got a lot of interests:

• Computational journalism Communications of the ACM, October 2011, "Computational Journalism"
• Twitter – the phenomenon, the tools, the data, the global cocktail party conversation
• Linux Capacity planning, Server Profiling and Performance Troubleshooting
• Algorithmic composition and Digital synthesizers
• Computational Finance, High-frequency trading and Market microstructure

and the underlying technologies: programming languages, applied mathematics and statistics, artificial intelligence, digital signal processing, machine learning, software engineering and high-performance computing. About the only technology I’m not really into is hardware.

Where can you find me?
