E's home page

Hello.

I love logic, cubes and programming, among other things. This web-site is a repository of my creative endeavors and a place to articulate my thoughts. You can e-mail me at e at cubelogic dot org.

My résumé.

My drone specifications.

Music

I am part of a free-improv duo, called ustr?ga.

Logic

I run (or wish to run) a small software house called Cubelogic.

My software projects are varied; I am currently involved in a secret iPhone project, and in the past I have done other Cocoa, C, C++ and Java projects.

Other projects are available here.

News (Improvise, Act)

My blog (Cubelogic Improv) is like a memory extension and an improvised radar. I write about startups, corporations and ethics.

Sometimes I twitter.
