Hi, I'm Seth Polsley! The Polsley Pulse is my low-frequency signal to the web—short notes on tech, computer history, or whatever may be the current focus of my tinkering. Older papers and school projects live here too.
I'm also a Computer Science professor at the Raikes School in the University of Nebraska—Lincoln, and you can find more about me at polsley.com.
