| My name is Paul Lieberman.
I'm just your basic Rennie-Sense Man. I'm interested in everything,
quite good at lots of things, and I love to learn new skills and absorb knowledge about all manner of things.
I've been a marathon runner, a semi-professional folk dancer, a world-class hitchhiker (I logged 84,000 miles before retiring in '88), and, for over twenty years, a software engineer. Since '98, I've been teaching IT professionals in 3-5 day intensive courses on new programming languages and computer technologies. When I lived in C-ville, I did a monthly stint as a DJ for a program of Celtic folk music on WTJU, "Regional Public Radio" at the University of Virginia. For severl years, my wife Willow and I split our time between Charlottesville and bucolic Ocracoke Island on the Outer Banks, where we ran a great open-air seafood restaurant, The Marlin Cafe. Ultimately, we had to let that go; we're now moving on, establishing an enduring life together. Willow has been working on her new career as a professor at Chesapeake College, where she helps students whose English composition skills are not quite up to college level, so they can succeed there.For over 20 years, I've been developing software in Perl, Java, JavaScript, XSLT and other languages, and ocassionally teaching these technologies to other software pros. Currently, I'm up to my eyeballs in the wondrous Dojo Toolkit for JavaScript.
