Alexandre Muñiz's Web Thing.

I made this with the GIMP, a very cool open source graphics program for Linux and other Unix like systems. Note: I am not really a floating torso.

Here are some categories of things I'm interested in:

Interactive Fiction

Also known as Text Adventures. I wrote one.

Mathematical Recreations

I'm fascinated with puzzles using polyominoes.

Open Source Programming

I wrote Latin Plus, a gtk+ input method that covers a wide range of unicode characters via compose sequences. It's part of the gtk-im-extra project. I also wrote Workspace Name Applet, a Gnome panel applet for viewing and changing the name of the current workspace.

Choral Music

I'll be singing with the Portland Symphonic Choir for the 2008 - 2009 season. I sing with the Sherwood Renaissance Singers at various renaissance faires in Oregon and Washington during the summer. I've also sung with the Portland Christmas Revels, the Marylhurst University Concert Chorale, and the Sherwood Chorale in recent years.

I've written a choral setting of an Edna St. Vincent Millay poem. I'm hoping some day I'll be able to convince the director of some group I'm in to perform it.

Recuerdo (SATB, PDF)

Really Old Pages

The extremely old pages for some of my creative endeavors in college and shortly after are still here, but I've moved them to the attic so as to keep them from cluttering my home page.

I enjoy Irish céilí and set dancing. If you're in the Portland area and interested in Irish social dancing, check out the Portland Céilí Society site. And if you go to one of the Third Friday Céilís in Portland, and see a guy wearing shorts and leggings, that's probably me. Say hi.

I graduated from Whitman College in the spring of 1996. I'm currently underemployed, and looking for a programming job, preferably using Linux.
