Who and why?

This blog has been a long time in coming.  I'm an engineer and a computer scientist.  My field is computational tools for engineering, which means I see a lot of beautiful things like the 787 Dreamliner taking flight.  (I worked on the computational fluid dynamics that drove its design.)  Lately my engineering duties have grown to encompass systems engineering for consumer Internet service.

Through it all I have seen the best and worst of computer programming.   This blog focuses on good and bad software practice.  As software becomes more responsible for how our world works, and as more of it devolves the purview of "web designers," it becomes more important to maintain a high standard of qualification and competence.
