Keen insights from the inside of a box

Cubicle Muses is the personal website for J Aaron Farr and William Taysom, co-founders of The JadeTower Corporation, a software startup.

Is it Aaron or J or jaaron?

All of the above though usually the first. Aaron is an entrepreneur, open source hacker, and sojourner in China. When not developing open source at Apache or commerical software for his startup, Aaron enjoys adventures with his lovely wife, Jenny, and their young daughter Maeli.

Who is this Will character anyway?

William Taysom is co-founder of JadeTower and previously a Research Associate at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, ihmc. The Institute puts your tax dollars to good use by building robots, teaching computers to understand English, and a number of other equally useful things. As a research associate, William makes GUIs so that other people don’t have to. For him this work is an excellent source of test cases for his long term aspiration: to make a graphical environment that is simple, beautiful, and powerful. Expect version 0.1 sometime around 2010. By way of background, William has a Bachelors in Math and a Masters in Philosophy. He lives in Hong Kong. Drop by anytime.
