- I am
a computer scientist

Here is a geeky list of my past computers.
I've also worked up my academic genealogy.

great public university in Jacksonville, Florida. At North Florida I

Yana went on to finish her MA at the University of Florida and I went on to finish
my PhD at Indiana University, Bloomington.

(southern Ryukyu Islands)
and
the mountain region of western North Carolina
(southern Appalachia); Yana's family hails from the
Russian Far East.
