About me

My name is Mike. I live on a farm in rural Indiana with my wife, Sara, and my son, Finnegan.

We love animals. Our pets include:

  • Frank, the black potbelly pig
  • Simon, the alpine goat
  • Garfunkel, the toggenburg goat
  • Buddy cat, the black barn cat
  • Jimmy cat, the long-haired tortoiseshell cat
  • Polydactyl cat, the brown tiger-striped polydactyl cat
  • Bogo (named after the Bogosort), an orange farm dog
  • Mutt-mutt, the black lab mix dog
  • Muffin, the miniature pinscher dog
  • Old man, the sweet indoor calico cat
  • Gerdy, the touch-me-not indoor calico cat
  • Fanny, the cute indoor black cat
  • Spare cat, the ugly indoor black cat
  • Achilles (pronounced [əˈʃɪl]), the yellow male canary

My interests include linguistics, music, and computer science.
