Expertise

I like to work on the intersections of the profound and the pragmatic where complex reality disrupts the tidy logic of established thought and forces new ways of thinking.

I have also been studying the interaction between values and the network development process.  I am particularly interested in how metaphors shape our thinking about the Internet and other communication networks.
