“M. Edward (Ed) Borasky is, in order of appearance, a boy genius, computer programmer, applied mathematician, folk singer, actor, professional graduate student, armchair astronaut, algorithmic composer, supercomputer programmer, performance engineer, Linux geek, solution in search of a problem and Social Media Non-Guru. His hobby is collecting hobbies.”

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

• Computational journalism [http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2011/10/131400-computational-journalism/fulltext 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.
