What is an Idiotprogrammer?
July, 2007

Whoa! This is an older site which I am no longer updating. This was my second website which I started in 2001. Trust me, the css tricks to the left looked pretty cool back then. Check this Houston technical writer website for information about how to hire Robert for fulltime and contract jobs. I update the Idiotprogrammer weblog fairly regularly, so that's the best place to start. See also a list of my writings and my new project, the Personville Story Network podcast , a podcast of quality literary fiction. Feel free to surf around and remember what web design was like in 2001.

My essay, So Long and Thanks for all the Foobars is up. Read my latest book review for Slashdot , sharethemusicday.com essay , my interview with iRate radio creator on kuro5hin, my new share the music weblog , various political articles and rants . To learn about my latest writing, check the PERSONAL section of my weblog. See also, my literary essays and an older slashdot book reviews on digital game-based learning. I'll be moving over to a CMS very soon.
