Xah Lee Profile/Contacts
This page contains my contact info and a short profile and interests.
Intro
My name is Xah Lee. (李杀, aka: polyglut, p0lyglut) Am Chinese by blood, but lived most of my adult life in California, USA. I do computer programing for a living, since 1995.
Education: i attended Foothill college and DeAnza college (California, USA) during ~1991 to 1994. These are 2-years community colleges. I took all math courses they offered. Pretty much highest being different equations and linear algebra. That's pretty much my formal education.
Profession: I'm a programer by profession. The companies i worked for are notably Wolfram Research in 1995 for 6 months as a intern, and WebOrder/Netopia during 1999 to 2002. (WebOrder was bought by Netopia in ~1999, and Netopia is bought by Motorola in 2007). My expertise is unix admin, web application development, using unix, Apache, perl. Besides web app dev, my expertise also lies in programing geometry visualization.
My credentials are mostly my website xahlee.org, developed since 1996 and is on going. Notably, visited by 9 thousands visitors per day, linked from hundreds of math edu institutions and programing websites, and cited in a few math text books and math journals. I taught once geometry visualization programing using Mathematica to grad math students at National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Taiwan, in 2003. Thanks to professor Richard Palais for the invitation.

Favorite food
I'm concerned with subsistence. So, when it comes to cuisines (with its fancy connotation), almost any is a delight to me. And, i am omnivorous, and don't in general require the food be tasty (though i'd enjoy it). My stable feed in daily life for the past 20 years is roughly non-fat milk, whole wheat bread, pasta, eggs (usually just egg white), banana and many tropical fruits, and brocoli and carrots, cheese, yogurt. When i eat out, i usualy pick animal flesh since i don't often cook myself.
For more detail, see: Xah Lee Food, Monk Diet .
Favorite Visual Artists
Robert Crumb, Moebius, Stanislaw Szukalski, Milo Manara, M C Escher.
For a full list, see: Xah's Visual Arts Gallery.
