About

My real name is Scott Ritchie, and I have many interests.  I created this blog to talk about my work.

Software Design:

I am an Ubuntu developer and free software designer.  I focus on usability, user interfaces, and packaging. The most important project I work on is Wine.

Teaching and Speaking:

I greatly enjoy public speaking opportunities, especially of a technical and inspirational nature. I worked as a Kaplan teacher and private tutor for 5 years.

Writing:

I write everything from blog posts to essays to technical documentation to wikipedia articles.  I am also working on a book about voting systems.

Voting Systems and Economics:

I have an economics degree, and am strongly interested in the voting problem. I plan to eventually turn my private research into a PHD.
