August 2002 and later... My ranting energy has gone into my work (see blog!) 2002 June 19 -
Someone else rants 2001 12 Sept - WTC Attack - My opinion 18 Aug - Going Faster but Where? 2000 09 Apr - Wedding Letter and Photos |
I read books, magazines, and the internet (besides my academic reading -- oy vey!). I also like movies (film noir and fantasy) and electronic music.
Politics: I am a libertarian who thinks that government can be useful to coordinate the solution to externality problems. (I oppose monopoly and abuse of power in both the private and public sector.) I also like anarchy, using the proper definition of unguided autonomy -- what Hayek called "spontaneous order" and Smith called the "Invisible Hand" Read this. |
| A little family history | ||
| My father Hugh was born in
India and moved to England, Canada, and then the US. He met my mother
Marty in NYC. They moved to San Francisco before I was born.
My mother died of breast cancer when I was 18. Here's a photo of her and me at my high school graduation:
|
Here's a photo of me in my
first car. It's an MGC, but looks similar to the MGB that my dad had
when he was young. Oh, and that hottie below is my mom; she lived in
Hawaii before she met my dad :)
|
In 2006, we were surprised to find that my dad had
another son, Gary, who is my half-brother. (His mum is Sylvia). Gary
lives near London; he was very happy to find out who his father was,
after 46 years!
