I now live in Urbana, Illinois, too far from family and friends still in Texas! After Paschal, I went to Rice University and then UT Austin for graduate school in Computer Sciences. I taught at Rutgers, worked for a computer company in Cambridge, Mass, and am now a professor of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois. My work has focused on studying the information and communication practices that help people in communities learn and work together.
I’m married to Susan Porter Bruce and have two children. Emily graduated from Williams College in 2007 and is now enrolled in a doctoral program in history at the University of Minnesota. Stephen spent a student exchange year in Marche-en-Famenne, Belgium, before enrolling at Yale, where he is now in his senior year. We also have deer, groundhogs, rabbits, and Canada geese who enjoy eating everything the least bit green in our garden.

Hey Chip,
Great blog. I love to read about your, and your family’s, adventure. When I was in CA I would show the kids’ blogs to friends but had not seen yours. When you are in town next please help me with my site. I want to replace the animals at the top of the page with photos of my ppets. I hope you will be able to help me. I cannot make the pics small enough. I hope we see y’all soon.
Billy
