Question meme

"The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you."


I don't think I posted this when it came around a while ago, but I have some new friends recently, so maybe this will be helpful. please have at. I will make a diligent attempt to answer all questions.

What do you do for a living? How did you end up doing it?

I am a Human Factors Engineer at Klein Associates, which is a small division of a large company called Applied Research Associates. Klein does Decision-making research and helps develop workshops, training, control systems, workspaces, and other procedures or artifacts (systems) that are well-informed by an understanding of how people make decisions, make sense of their world, and otherwise do what they do.

In 2007 I wrote up what I do (http://netmouse.livejournal.com/366066.html) while I was working at Soar Technology, and what I do right now is very similar. I work in the cognitive systems engineering group at Klein.

And hey, there I am, commenting in 2007 about how amazingly cool that was. I'll have to research my own comment history before thinking of a question next time.

For the record, still amazingly cool. However, while this answers the "what", it doesn't answer the "how". How'd you get from history to cognitive theory, applied control systems, and human-robot interaction?
