HalfJack is a Associate Professor of Information Technology at a State college in Georgia that prefers to remain anonymous. For the past 20 years most of his teaching has resembled 19th century Russian poetry (there's a lot of talk but everybody still freezes to death). Only a smattering of outstanding students and taking summers off has (mostly) preserved his sanity. He believes you can't have too many wheelbarrows and the best piece of advice he ever gave at an con talk was "Don't point the sharp end of the tool towards your body"
