About Me
- My name is Mikol (MEE kle) Graves.
- I live with my wife and son in San Francisco, CA.
- Like most people in the Bay Area, I'm a geek; I make my living pushing pixels and twiddling bits.
- Which means I spend most of my waking life combating entropy.
- For the past six years I have worked for VMware where I make tools for managing virtual machines and the hosts that run them.
- You may be surprised to find my name on a Netscape patent that smells remarkably like AJAX.
- In fact, I should be surprised—the actual inventor left Netscape long before the patent application was filed.
- But I'm a cynic, I did make substantive contributions to the project, and someone had to sell their rights for a dollar.
- While I write my fair share of code, my passion is design: The world Software is broken; I need to fix it.
- So I guess you could say I'm an idealist.
- Like most people, I'm full of contradictions.
- For example, I can snowboard and ski.
- I also play Capoeira in fits and starts.
- My name is Mikol Graves.
- If you meet me in person, I promise not to speak in bullet points.
- Still curious? You can get your voyeur on at del.icio.us or Flickr.
