About

I have had a long-standing interest in "disruptive technologies" that make us re-think how we learn, teach, acquire and use information. My main activities center around The OYEZ Project , a multimedia database devoted to the U.S. Supreme Court. My goal is to make the project's contents accessible to the widest array of users. Specialties: Spoken-word archiving; web-based experiments and simulations; intellectual property
