Philosospher, Inventor, Engineer

Welcome to my own little piece of the net. I am Sean Deely Woods. Two last names. Long story short, I was adopted. Besides, I have a folk singer and a basketball coach who are kicking my ass in the google rankings for "Sean Woods". Maybe owning http://www.sean-woods.com might help in the long run, but I digress.

While you are here don't forget to check out the rest of my website. It is a tiny misdirected website devoted to twisting linux and off the shelf components into un-natural forms using the Tcl scripting language. My CV is also online

My 4* year old daughter has her website here. I still even have a website for her mother.

One of my featured attractions is a list of Journalisms. These are words and phrases that mangle concepts, have trickled into common use, and the only recourse is to beat anyone who uses them mercilessly.

I'm collecting my random thoughts into The Book of Sean

First a background graphic, now I've really moved into the realm of Internet Cliche. Blog

I'll have my own blogging software up in a week or two. (Flash forward 0 years*, um, no not yet...)

My hobbies include science fiction, folk music, scuba diving, and computer programming. I am a NAUI Certified Wreck diver. I volunteer every year at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I program in C an TCL/TK in may spare time. I absorb science fiction novels, and one of these day's I'm finally going to sit down and write the one that keeps playing out in my head.

In your web travels, also check out my mentee Dominic's website at http://einsteinsbreakfast.com. To be someone else's inspiration is just plain disturbing, but in a satisfying way.

And also visit my other famous disciple, Pete Stein. He essentially wrote, rewrote, and re-rewrote the Franklin Institute's workorder system. While in high school, mind you.

Oh, and I apologize for the background. I normally recommend garreting users of background images with a strip of Cat 5. It is a Celtic Knot pattern I spend entirely too long putting together, and I had to use it somewhere. The tool for making them is written in (3 guesses) Tcl. I'll probably look at it in the morning and say "WTF?", but it's making sense at the time. (Flash forward 4 years*. I still it looks nice.) (Flash forward 0 years*. It's been replaced by a circuit board.)

Among the lucky, you are the chosen one.

* Yes, those are actually date calculations. I got tired of updating manually.
** That's actually a joke. The page regenerates every pageview.
