7fff – think max value

About

I’m John G. Norman; I work at Digital Advisor in Cambridge, Massachusetts; check out our new product, BeatThat.

I’m a managing partner and co-founder of H3.com. I am also behind the curtain at Duffy’s Cliff. I teach a Ruby and Ruby on Rails course at Harvard Extension; here’s the course site.

I have no relation whatsoever to the science fiction author John Frederick Lange, Jr., who goes by the pen name John Norman. I am also not the same person as the John Norman who is the head of e-learning at Cambridge in the UK. Yet I am (still) that same John Norman who studied English Literature at Harvard and later taught at Ohio State, where I was, towards the end, Director of the Computers in Composition and Literature program. More recently I’ve taught media studies at the New School in New York City, and engineering at Harvard Extension.

If you want to know more, check out my LinkedIn profile. You can reach me at john at 7fff dot com. If you want to pop up in my deluge of e-mail, make the subject “I red yer blogge.”

In the Cambridge/Boston area, you’ll find me at the meetings of the Boston Ruby Group and at WebInno. I’m also a member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization.

I am currently not seeking employment or consulting, but I love to hear people talk about their awesome technology, so seek me out if you’re doing anything mind-blowing. I do occasionally help my friends as a technical advisor to their startups.
