I now live in Urbana, Illinois, too far from family and friends still in Texas! After Paschal, I went to Rice University and then UT Austin for graduate school in Computer Sciences. I taught at Rutgers, worked for a computer company in Cambridge, Mass, and am now a professor of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois. My work has focused on building and studying information and communication tools, which help communities learn and work together.
I'm married to Susan Porter Bruce and have two children. Emily (20) is a senior at Williams College, and Stephen (19) is a sophomore at Yale. He spent a student exchange year in Marche-en-Famenne, Belgium, before enrolling there. We also have deer who enjoy eating everything the least bit green in our garden.
During 2004-05, we lived in Paris as part of a sabbatical year. On a previous sabbatical in 1996-97, we lived in Beijing and Brisbane.
