About Me
I am a systems librarian working in the San Francisco Bay area. I am also a self-taught Linux and web geek, although it has taken me years to see myself that way.

I spent my junior year of high school as an exchange student in France and my junior year of high school in Hamburg, Germany. At various times in my life I have lived in Texas, Massachusetts, Seattle, and (briefly) in England.

Some things I do:


 * transcribe print books into braille for the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library
 * read voraciously
 * knit

Some topics I'm interested in:


 * open source software
 * librarianship
 * history, especially the different ways in which different people or groups of people tell the same story

Some things I know:


 * I can speak French and German as well as English.
 * I am a stickler for grammar and spelling; the majority of my edits are corrections to typos.
