This web site is called ongoing and is written by me, Tim Bray.
Lots more detail about me is available from Google and Yahoo.
Business · My main professional activity is at Sun Microsystems, which I joined on March 15, 2004; on my business card it says “Director of Web Technologies”. But, as it says on every page of this site, nobody at Sun sees things here before I publish them and what you read here is not necessarily representative of Sun’s position on anything.
Disclosures · I am a member of the Technorati advisory board and a friend of the company, a former advisor and friend of Make Technologies, and a friend of Smallthought Systems; I have an equity interest in all three companies.
As with Sun, nothing I say here can be assumed to represent the feelings of any of these companies.
Contact · If you want to email me, you need to know that at Sun, the standard address is <first>.<last>@sun.com. If you write me, and what you write me is interesting, I may decide to publish it in ongoing. This has two consequences: first of all, if you don’t want what you write published, say so. Second, if I do publish an incoming email, it’s nice to include a web pointer for the person who wrote it. If you don’t provide one, I’ll guess & google around a bit to turn something up; it would be much better if you included one in your email.
Photos · One or two who know me allege that the image above is not a very good likeness. I picked it because it corresponds well with my self image; but I’ve added two more. The first is by my dear wife Lauren Wood, the second is a portrait of me by my son, then 4½, the first picture I ever saw him try to draw of anything; I was touched. He’s being kind as I don’t actually have much more than a bit of fuzz on top of my head.
