Somewhat to my disappointment, I've realized that the vast
majority of my website is now encapsulated in my CV, and so have
replaced my old, stunningly dated pre-CSS
website with this document. But if you're looking for my 1998-2008 photos or
my small collection of recipes
instead of information here, please help yourself.

Google Scholar calculates that my work has been cited 3000+ times and my h-index is 26; the Association for Computing Machinery states my papers have been downloaded over 5700 times in the last 12 months, and cumulatively over 46,000 times. In addition to serving as a contribution to the scientific commons, they also provide a mechanism for me to talk publicly about the work I've done that would otherwise be covered by an NDA.
This particular list is automatically generated from the ACM. Below I've tried to organize them into more of a coherent system, but I feel it's a losing battle. Still, the links are supposed to work if you click through. Maybe that's useful.
These are fully peer-reviewed articles; both are comparable to journal articles in other disciplines, and represent significant production of knowledge.
