Who is this Nathan guy, anyway?

    That would be me. Nathan Zeldes, applied physicist by education, engineer by vocation, and builder of things (hardware, software, and "classic" DIY) by avocation. Married, father of two (grown) kids. Born and living in Jerusalem, Israel. Ham radio operator (4Z4GE, currently inactive).
    I work at Intel as a Principal Engineer, specializing in Computing Productivity (for a taste of what I do, you're welcome to read my blog posts on the subject at the IT@Intel blog, and visit the Information Overload Research Group I've co-founded. If you're into the same field and want to exchange insights, drop me a line).
    And do check my personal blog, dedicated to everyday product design, at http://designblog.nzeldes.com.

And what is this site all about?

     Just my own little patch of cyberspace... my way of joining the many good people who have so enriched my mind these past years by sharing some of their thoughts, passions and interests, through their wonderful personal web sites. Here is something back in return.
    If you haven't yet published a site of your own, I urge you to consider it. With all respect to Amazon and Google and whatnot, it is we, the people, who give the Internet its soul. Come on aboard!

So what does a dish of pasta have to do with any of this?

    Nothing, really... but did you ever try to find a picture that illustrates "About"?! Besides, I never could resist a delicious dish of, say, "Pasta alla Norma"... try it, you'll love it!
