My name is Jack Kessler. My primary interests are digital information, France, and globalization. Interests in the recent past have included geology, J.S. Bach, and Homer. The more distant past gets to politics, old maps, London, Spain, and Tamil Nadu. Earlier than that gets to The Sixties, and George Carlin figured nobody who was there remembers those... :-O
I've formally studied philosophy and city planning and "library and information studies". During the 1990s I was an Internet consultant, speaking / teaching / writing about the then-new Internet. Now I mostly just write about it. I have lived in California and New England, and in the UK, France, and Spain. For 15 years I was in business, traveling annually to my favorite part of the world, which was then and still is southern India.
Libraries interest me very much, particularly the application of older print library paradigms to the newer online digital information techniques, and whether that works or not: the Internet has needed a good "index" for a long time, now, and it seems to me that "Wikipedia" might be one.
