Don Blaheta
Don BlahetaI'm an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Knox College, in Galesburg, Illinois. In 2004 I got my PhD in Computer Science at Brown University, having also gotten an ScM (Master of Science) in CS there in 1999, and an AM (Master of Arts) in Linguistics in 2003. Earlier on, I got a BS in CS and a BS in math from Quincy University in May '97; prior to college I went to St. Viator (grad. '93), IMSA (left '92), St. James (grad. '89), and St. Linus (left '86).
My interests are many and varied. For a few that I have chosen to write about, see the links at the top of this page. Other things I'm into include politics and, recently, anime, though I'll never be mistaken for a true otaku.
This is really just my personal web page. To find out more about my teaching or research, see my Knox webpage. And for a more PR-ish sort of blurb about me, see my faculty profile.
My main email address for general correspondence is blahedo, right here at blahedo.org. Those of you who knew me from Brown may find it easier to remember my don_blaheta address, at alumni.brown.edu. And those of you who currently know me at Knox probably already know that dblaheta works on that system. (Go ahead and use what's easiest---they all go to the same place anyway.)
I still haven't gotten around to getting a landline phone at home, and probably never will. My Galesburg-local cell phone number is (309) 335-6004.
The only IM system I'm on is AOL, where I've got---surprise!---blahedo. Social IMs only, please. (I'm looking at you, CS141 students. :P)
