Rustan

Jammin' Welcome to my page on the net.  Let me introduce myself.  I live in the Pacific Northwest, whereto my family and I moved from Silicon Valley, California several years ago.  As you can tell from these pictures, my wife Indi just can't keep her hands offa me.  She and I make music together.

Big leap Careerwise, I'm a Principal Researcher in computer science at Microsoft Research.  My work page has some information about what I do there.  Basically, I'm trying to improve techniques that allow computer programmers to develop and maintain programs correctly.  Before that, I worked at the DEC/Compaq Systems Research Center in Palo Alto, CA. 

Välkommen till min sida på nätet.  Den här spalten är det ju inte alla som förstår.  Och kanske är det ganska bra, för du ser ju att den Gasp! skiljer sig betydligt från den vänstra spalten där det verkliga informationsinnehållet finns.  Nåja, om du ska läsa mer får du nog ändå dra ögonen dit.

Some other things I'm currently up to:  I'm a Group Exercise Volunteer at the Bellevue Family YMCA, where I teach step aerobics.  Recently, I joined the band God's Garage at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Renton, playing the drums.  I like to chill in our sauna, which our family built last fall:sauna And I'd like to think I'm learning to play my Chapman Stick.

My boys thought it would be cool if I had a fu manchu, perhaps could I grow one as a Christmas gift for Indi?  She was less amused with that idea, so Klas instead made me this picture.

Another fact about myself is that I enjoy good coffee.  I might not have mentioned that, except that I happen to have this pretty picture of an ice coffee concoction I made (to the left).  I like good food, too, including dessert.  To the right is a Gorgonzola Marscapone cheesecake I made, and below that is a starter with mango, prosciutto, and watercress. Yeah, mouth watering, aren't they!
