I am a writer — novelist, pop-math author, reviewer, and opinion journalist — living on Long Island, New York.
This is my home page. I have archived the content of most of my written work (other than published books) on this website, so that you can get an idea of its scope and quality.
Commentary columns, articles, and reviews are all posted to the RSS feed above. Click on the button to see them, with most recent at the top. You can subscribe to this feed using Google Reader or one of the many similar services (though you don't have to subscribe in order to read the pieces). The Reader will alert you when I post anything new. To subscribe, just click on the orange button here on this page, then copy'n'paste the feed's URL (that's the thing beginning "http://…") into the Reader's subscription box; or if the Reader makes it even easier than that for you to subscribe, follow their instructions.
The "Last 20" link in the navigation box brings up my last 20 published columns, articles, and reviews.
Other pages accessible from here via the navigation box offer some poetry readings, histories of our family (both the English and Chinese sides), guest pages for the kids, and any kinds of notes or oddities I feel like storing on my website under "Miscellaneous."
To get in touch with me, please use the email address scrawled (in hopes of foxing the spambots) next to my mugshot at the left here.

[Note written September 2007: This is my new website. The old one is
here. As time permits, I am transferring worthwhile content from the old site to the new one. This process will
take a while — a year or two — to complete. In the meantime, anything not on this new site will be on the old one.
That original website was built in the late 1990s using Microsoft FrontPage. By the time I realized that using FrontPage had been a ghastly mistake,
the site was big and cluttered enough to make a rewrite daunting. Now Microsoft has stopped issuing new releases of FrontPage. They have folded it
into a new product that (a) costs three times as much, and (b) inherits all
the worst qualities of FrontPage.
I am therefore rebuilding my site here, using native XHTML and CSS, with which, I am told, you can't go
far wrong. My overall methodology is KISS. Hence the rather utilitarian appearance of
these pages.]
