Home of the Fractal Mule

I live in Kyoto, Japan. I am working towards a PhD in Computer Science at Kyoto University. I also work on some free software projects including the Sweep sound editor and the Annodex media system, and various smaller projects which you can read about here.

In my other life I enjoy writing text, some of which I try to pass off as poetry. I make sounds and music. I seldom take pictures of the things around me, but sometimes I keep random junk that comes my way.
