About me

By day, I'm a senior web developer for the Mozilla Corporation, occasionally working on Firefox but mostly working on sites & services surrounding it.
By night, I'm a web developer, too - but also looking to get into general handy tinkering with electronics, wood working, microcontrollers, and whatever else I can learn.

Books
I've written & contributed to some books. They're mostly outdated. Someone might find them useful:
- Hacking RSS and Atom
- Hacking del.icio.us
- Concise Guide to Dojo
- Professional JavaScript Frameworks
- Spidering Hacks
- Greasemonkey Hacks
I have extra copies of most of those, so ask to borrow one if anything actually looks interesting :) I mainly mention them as the kinds of things I've historically hacked on.
