Steven D. Brewer limako@bierfaristo.com

For 10 years, I have been the Director of the Biology Computer Resource Center at the University of Masschusetts at Amherst. I serve as a consultant to faculty on the implementation of technology in support of education. I also develop instructional technology resources for teaching biology. I came here after finishing my PhD at Western Michigan University. Before I went to graduate school, I used to do science assemblies at schools with portable planetariums and live animals. My wife and I travelled all over the Southwest performing at elementary schools.

I maintain a couple of online journals when I have the time: blog.bierfaristo.com in English and esperanto-usa.org in Esperanto .

I speak Esperanto and there is an Esperanto version of this page. I currently serve as President of the Esperanto Society of New England and Vice-President of the Esperanto League for North America. A current project of mine is organizing the Esperanto Day blogfest: a day when bloggers all over the world will offer a bilingual post (in their native language and in Esperanto) related to issues of language in their region or country. I have also created a site for La Zne Hajkoj de Istvan Bierfaristo. Istvan also has an on-line store with various zneajxoj through cafepress.

Follow this link to find out more about Esperanto.

For several years, I have been interested in the open source software movement. I was a founding member of our local linux users group WeMaLU, but I haven't been active lately.
