Hi. My name is Peter.

I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch...

It was a real challenge to avoid the microbursts flying through the pass to get here and from the looks of my Cessna and your smiling faces I won't want to be leaving any time soon.

My main interests are law, politics, computer programming, web design, and gardening. I hold a few advanced degrees from back when a University education entailed reading mountains of books and taking a wide range of electives before Political Correctness and Leftist Indoctrination became the order of the day.

I managed to pack most of my personal library into the plane (which is probably why I wound up crashing), so if anyone is looking for any references feel free to send me a query.

I am licensed to practice Law in New York State and founded a now defunct non-profit, but I've "had enough", so I am not in active practice anymore.

I have contributed two peer reviewed book chapters to academic anthologies, and I am currently hard at work on a book advocating the formation of a New Political Party.

I am middle aged and still single, no doubt as a result of having spent too much time buried in the stacks.

That is about it for now, so let me unpack and we can chat more later on.

PS. See the Wikipedia entry for Publius Valerius Publicola if you are curious about my writing as Poplicola, which was his ancient Roman nickname meaning "friend of the people".

(Also note that I am not the author of the Poplicola blog at wordpress.com)

      Hi Alex. I am not currently blogging and as noted above, I don't have anything to do with the Poplicola blog which I didn't stumble on until after picking my account name.

      I am, however, working on writing some custom blogging software with support for Purple Numbers (automatic statement level hyperlink anchor generation) and temporal navigation along the lines of the Wayback Machine.

      I'll loop you in when I have something working.
