Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Gene and you have somehow managed to land your browser on my personal website. This is the third generation of this site and I hope you find it to be informative and fun. It's a different flavor than the previous site, yet just another step in extracting benefits from the constantly improving technology. Hopefully, when it's all said and done, you'll have an idea of who I am and what I'm about. The different pages of this site represent different aspects of my professional and public life. Portions of the site will be quite serious, though I confess my personal struggle with being overly flippant at times. Overall, you should find me to be a somewhat unique individual. One question that I am asked time and time again is why "dot.com" yourself. About five/six years back when I was actively involved in the music business, it was a necessity. Now, that's less the case. I do still have a few fans out there that like to keep up on the music (I do still write songs), so part of this site is committed to them. Another reason for having this website is to allow my many friends around the world to check in and see what's up in my life. The beauty of the internet is it makes the world a much smaller place. Yet a third reason and perhaps an important one for this time in my life is to share some of my research and ideas in the field of linguistics. I am always working on something and this makes my work easy to follow. Whatever your reason for being here, I hope you have a great time. Please enjoy your visit and drop me an email sometime.

Welcome
A Short Introduction
It would take page upon page to get at the truth of why I would want a personal web page.  As a musician, I find it a convenience.  As a linguist, I find it inviting.  As an inquisitive citizen of a world community it is a way for me to offer my perspective on life.
Since returning to school my music has become a lesser priority.  I play for therapeutic reasons and manage to write a few songs.  I do plan to do some recording in the spring of 2007.  My original recording, Come Down Heroes is here on the site.

Photo Albums
Æons ago I studied photography.  I have hundreds of photos I've taken over the years and slowly I'm getting some of the better ones on the site.  For now I have some of my "photo ramblings" online as I adapt myself to the realm of digital photography.
