Welcome to my Virtual CyberHome. Where I don’t actually live or anything, so it’s not much of a home. OK, welcome to my CyberWebNet InfoSite. It is a site of… information. On the electronic tube device. Where the will be things about me, written by me. And I am Matthew J. Brown. Some people call me Mattbrown. Or Matt.
My calling and, luckily, my job is philosophy, which I teach at The University of Texas at Dallas in the School of Arts & Humanities. You can find out more about my research and teaching at the professional section of this site. I am also the director of the Center for Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology, which organizes research projects, puts on public lectures and conferences, and other cool stuff. Check it out. I also do a bit of work in cognitive science, history and philosophy of psychology, and comics and pop culture studies.
More importantly: I am also the happy father of a wonderful girl, the lucky lesser half of Sabrina Starnaman, a Destination Imagination Coach, a (really really) amateur musician, artist, and fiction writer, a gamer, and a fan of comics, pop culture, and speculative fiction. I love coffee and bourbon whiskey. I like to cook and to mix cocktails.
Places I have lived in Virtual eSpace: thm.askee.net (defunct), Geeks in the Big Yellow House (defunct), OpenDiary (forget about it), DM Smith (defunct, mysteriously disappeared), Weitermachen! (not really updated anymore), The Ocean Thought Nothing (beware the ad-ridden garbage that is LiveJournal), Frump the Turtle (defunct), The Sequential Philosopher (personal and philosophical stuff), Science, Values, and Democracy (class blog), It’s Only a Theory (philosophy of science group blog), my UTD Faculty Page, my UTD Faculty Profile, my Google Profile, my Twitter, Flickr, Academia.Edu and the Center for Values Page. Probably some other places, too.
Okay, thanks for visiting?
