Overview

Here's a presentation on style guides that I've given, and one on Documentation and the System Administrator
I was the project lead for the commercial version of my company's award-winning internal style guide,
Read Me First! A Style Guide for the Computer Industry, which is used in many places as a textbook

I have a baby brother Jerry (four minutes younger than me :-> ) who is an actor and voice actor.
I belong to Kehilat Nitzan, the only fully Conservative Jewish congregation in Australia

I read Torah, and found a great line-by-line trope page for Torah portions and haftorot, complete with sound files!

I like to do Israeli folkdancing, ballroom dancing, and Regency dancing
I also read a lot of mysteries, mostly ones set in different historical periods.
Baseball parks I've visited (you'll also find out how the Braves tomahawk chop got started!)

I read a lot of science fiction (see my favorite SF books). (For a more professional view, you might want to take a look at
Gardner Dozois's recommended SF reading list -- he's the multiple-award winning editor of Asimov's magazine.)
I attend many science fiction conventions
I was the winner of the 1999 DUFF (Down Under Fan Fund) race and had a great time! Check out my trip report
(Janice's Adventures in Down-Underland), trip photos, an unsolicited campaign support zine by friends Eve Ackerman, Mike Glyer, and
Arthur Hlavaty with illos by Teddy Harvia, and Janthology, my DUFF campaign zine (a collection of "greatest hits" from my fanzine writing)
I have been a member of several amateur press associations (APAs)
I invented the SMOFTalmud
I developed some moderator tips for Program Ops to hand out to people moderating panels at conventions (also available in PDF format)
Convention pictures of me on other sites
