Welcome to the home page of Wordman, also known as Lester L. Ward III. (Note, if you use the preceding mail link, you’ll need to change AT to @ and DOT to .) Born in Pueblo, Colorado, I graduated from South High School in 1989. In 1993, I earned a B.A. in Computer Science from Harvard University, where I met the woman I (eventually) married.
I'm currently programming for Renaissance Technologies. They removed their web site from the net a while ago, so you need the Way Back Machine to see it.
Recently, a lot of “switchers” have been asking for about Mac software, so I’ve prepared this list.
My public PGP key is available on request. If you're the type of person who would like to give me a gift, here's what I'm looking for. If you are looking for links which used to be here, you might find them archived on my events page.
