Dust-off

I’m returning to writing more, and more long-form.  I love being witty and bantering short-form on Twitter as @trochee, and I don’t expect this to stop.  I’m just putting a lot of work into this site over the next few weeks.

[alternate subtitle: Dust-off and nuke the entire site from orbit; it’s the only way to be sure]

I expect to be writing about, in no particular order:

• my search for employment
• machine learning and its discontents, including the ethics of automation and good behavior in the face thereof
• software natural language processing as a tool for humans
• being a three-year-old’s parent
• software that I work on, with, or (occasionally) against, and sometimes even own
• public transit and bicycling, especially in rainy and hilly (and auto-traffic-bound) Seattle
• intersectional feminism, anti-racism, anti-capitalism and other troublemaking
• human language processing as a tool for computers
• literary applications of natural language processing

I’ve also done partial updates on my about and work pages.
