Arieseira's Hut


About me
I live in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

I've lost count of the number of times I see my land covered with tiny white hexagonal crystals of H2O. Unlike the Neanderthals, my brain structure isn't endowed with an efficient long-term memory buffer -- that part of the brain was sacrificed to the overgrown frontal lobe. Sad but who says existence should not be sad.

I teach that part of the so-called cognitive science that studies the biologically endowed capabilities of language.

What I'm interested in:
  • computer games
    • Myst
    • Diablo
    • Sequel of Myst -- hasn't come out yet :-(
    • Sequel of Diablo -- doesn't even exist conceptually
  • science fiction
    • Star Trek -- all generations
    • Doctor Who -- when I could still remember things
    • Sci-fi novels -- actually I seldom read any
  • debate
    I quickly get exhausted in a debate, so I try not to get into one. A major reason why I'm on good terms with many researchers in my field.
