Hi, I'm Michael FIG (née Gordon Matzigkeit).
I'm actively involved in the FIG Project, mostly as a Free Software developer. I consider myself to be both a software architect and an armchair psychologist. These paths reflect my interest in understanding communication and control, also known as the field of cybernetics. I have learned about these things mostly through my personal experience, though I have also engaged in some formal education.
I constantly see many different perspectives on every issue, so it is hard for me to sum up my beliefs. I enjoy puns and ambiguity, and frequently people don't realize that I'm just joking, only serious. I am constantly updating an autobiography of some of the more unique aspects of my life and philosophy to help sort out what I'm currently thinking and how it relates to my experiences.
If you are interested in having me work for you on a computer project, you can see my resumé in PDF or LaTeX format. Contract work is best, as I currently have a steady job.
If you wish to contact me directly, send e-mail to <michael@fig.org>, but be aware that I use an aggressive spam filter that will send an automatic reply requiring you to confirm your message before I will see it. You can also call my voicemail at (306) 359-6201. My mobile number is tucked away in my resumé.
