I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
It started in 1993, just a domain name (STARDOT2-DOM,
stardot.net) registered by Hui–Hui; in 1995 Captain Jim moved there, where it would

<old dog> Hellloooooo….?
