About The Author

Michael Easter
I am a computer scientist, part-time philosopher, and part-time cyber-scriber. After many wonderful years in St Louis, Missouri, I have returned to Prince Edward Island, Canada. Java pays the bills; Groovy provides the thrills. I am not a musical composer, but play guitar and am learning piano (on/off). I'm fairly literate with musical theory, structures, etc. That said, my main hobby these days is running with some (indoor) triathlon. Alma Maters: UPEI and University of Waterloo
