Technical Articles
I've published numerous technical articles on digital watermarking, digital rights management, privacy, and other topics. See my academic page for details.
I also publish occasional research briefs under the name A Little Research.
Society for Creative Anachronism
I've written a number of articles on the history of science and mediaeval geography, published in Cockatrice and Stefan's Florilegum. See my SCA page for details.
Fiction
I love novels and always wanted to write one or two when I grew up, but instead found myself writing scientific articles as part of my PhD and postdoctoral research. More recently I've turned out some flash fiction for AntipodeanSF and SciPhiJournal, and a few essays about fiction for Aurealis.
