I am a father, board gamer and software engineer.

Internet

In addition to my blog (this page), you can find me on BoardGameGeek, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn, FriendFeed, and various other places. I also have a slightly stale homepage.

Personal

I am an avid board gamer. I am one of the (volunteer) admins of BoardGameGeek, maintainer of the GameStoreDB, board game blogger, and gaming software geek.

Professional

I am a staff software engineer at Google. Previously, I was the CTO at an 802.11 location and security company, Newbury Networks in Boston. In June, 1999 I received my Masters degree from the MIT Media Lab. I graduated from MIT (undergraduate) in June, 1997, in physics. Prior to that I was CTO of net.Genesis from 1994 to 1996.

While at MIT, I was one of the three members of the Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) who set up www.mit.edu in the spring of 1993. I am also a former/inactive member of the Apache group, a volunteer group of developers of Apache, the world's most popular web server.

Atom feed of your recently played games

Scott and his team are a bit overworked so I wrote a simple scraper that turns your "games played" page on BGG into an Atom feed. If/when Scott gets around to officially supporting this, I'll make my feed generator redirect to the "real" one. (Atom is essentially the same as RSS and most services that support RSS support Atom)

Games Played Atom Feed Generator

For example, my games played.

I'm planning to also add feeds for plays of a particular game, or even a particular game by a particular person.

I have been trying to get this feed to work with my blogger account but it wont. I keep getting an invalid feed URL error.

Ideas?
