I’m a blogger, editor, writer and slinger of web pages. Among other things, I’m the author of The Map Room, a blog about maps, and DFL, a blog about last-place finishes at the Olympics. When I’m not blogging, writing or correcting other people's grammar, I raise snakes, play the piano, and look through my telescope.

I currently shoot with a Nikon D90; I shot with a Nikon Coolpix 995 until December 2006 and a Nikon D40 until September 2008, but I’m so far behind on uploading photos that images from all three cameras will probably appear on my Flickr photostream for some time to come.

Current lenses:

• AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D
• AF-S DX Nikkor 12-24mm f/4 G
• AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105 f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR
• AF-S DX Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED VR
• Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM

Telescopes at prime focus:

• Celestron NexStar 5 SE (125mm aperture, 1250mm focal length, f/10)
• Sky-Watcher Equinox 80 ED (80mm aperture, 500mm focal length, f/6.25)

I'm Male and Taken.
