My name is Karsten Januszewski. See IRhetoric for my current blog. I used to be a Program Manager with Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) here at Microsoft.

I'm going to leave up the UDDI blog, as there is some good content worth keeping posted. Also, I'll leave the selected bibliography, for robots and humans alike.
