I’m a technologist and innovator, and a computer scientist by training; I spend my time in a lot of different domains from former media-company exec to author of O’Reilly’s Head First books on HTML and related technologies. I also just completed a project with ambient music pioneer Steve Roach called Immersion Station, an iPhone application that allows you to sculpt your own, infinity ambient music from sounds derived from Steve’s work.

Right now most of my efforts are going into building a new company, Wickedly Smart, with Elisabeth Robson. Wickedly Smart is aimed at helping you achieve true software mastery across a number of domains, but initially focusing on the web space. We already have a number of projects underway and will be opening wickedlysmart.com in the near future.

Head First HTML5 Programming is finished! We’re just doing a few final edits and adding a few goodies over the next week, then it’s off the printer!

We also shot the promo for the book, which will be out in a few weeks. Also look for a little guide (available on wickedlysmart.com) to get you from Head First HTML to Head First HTML5 Programming!
