| My name is Paul Lieberman.
I'm just your basic Rennie-Sense Man. I'm interested in everything,
quite good at lots of things, and I love to learn new skills and absorb knowledge about all manner of things.
I've been a marathon runner, a semi-professional folk dancer, a world-class hitchhiker (I logged 84,000 miles before retiring in '88), and, for over twenty years, a software engineer. Since '98, I've been teaching IT professionals in 3-5 day intensive courses on new programming languages and computer technologies. When I lived in C-ville, I did a monthly stint as a DJ for a program of Celtic folk music on WTJU, "Regional Public Radio" at the University of Virginia. For severl years, my wife Willow and I split our time between Charlottesville and bucolic Ocracoke Island on the Outer Banks, where we ran a great open-air seafood restaurant, The Marlin Cafe. Ultimately, we had to let that go; we're now moving on, establishing an enduring life together. Now we're fixing up a 150-year-old house in a small town that actually feels like neighborhoods and small towns used to feel all over America. Willow has been working on her new career as a professor at Chesapeake College, where she helps students whose English composition skills are not quite up to college level, so they can succeed there. She's almost done with a Master's in English, to add to her Master's in Education.For over 20 years, I've been developing software in various languages, and ocassionally teaching these technologies to other software pros.
