This the personal blog of Elmer Masters. I’ve been blogging since October 2000, mostly for my own amusement. I am a web developer, IT manager, and occasional consultant. I’ve managed IT departments at a couple of law schools, and started my professional career as a reference law librarian while working my way through law school. These days I’m the chief technologist for a consortium of US law schools.
