My occasional tweets (usually from conferences) are available at twitter. I also have del.icio.us links but this is a public one for show, not my private and ever-growing collection. And I have an avatar in Second Life, Lemontree Raymaker, but I'm almost never there - again, just for display purposes.

Director Judith:

As an academic technologist Judith has had a career in creating organizations geared toward the support of teaching with technology. She was the founding director of Brandeis' now-defunct Center for Instructional Multimedia and Technology (CIMTech) and built an academic technology support group out of three previously unintegrated groups. At Hofstra she did it again, proving that this, at least, is one of her repeatable skills. At Hofstra she manages Faculty Computing Services which supports instructional technology across all five schools at the University from AV installations to Blackboard to podcasting. Judith has worked in computing for over 20 years; her first job was as a backup operator on a Prime mainframe and VMS is still her favorite operating system.

Author Judith:

Judith Tabron works in academia, a place that lends itself to wild flights of fancy and brutal doses of reality. Since receiving her Ph.D. she has written and published on the comparison of Nigerian, Australian, and American literature; Peter Carey; and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her most recent academic article explored the economics of television and the selling of "Stargate: SG-1" for the collection Reading Stargate SG-1. She has taught composition and literature classes; she has also had a long career in academic computing and currently is Director of Faculty Computing Services at Hofstra University. Yes, she might be able to fix your computer, but no, she won't.

“Broken Stones” appeared in volume 22 of the popular Writers of the Future anthology. Publishers Weekly called this story one of the anthology’s standouts. As an example of Judith Tabron’s work, this short story, her first print fiction publication, is atypical in that it isn’t funny and nothing explodes.
