 # About Alan
 
-I’m a programmer and builder. I have spent much of my career working with
-programming languages, web systems, build tools, and open-source software. I
-am happiest when the machinery stays small enough to understand and the
-result gives someone a more direct way to think.
+I’m a programmer. I make languages, tools, and small software systems. My
+work includes [Step and Scalatra](./OpenSource.md#step-and-scalatra), Boot,
+Hoplon, Javelin, [GridCalc](./GridCalc.md), and [Klong for the Web](./Klong.md).
 
-That thread runs from [Step and Scalatra](./OpenSource.md#step-and-scalatra),
-Boot, Hoplon, and Javelin through newer projects such as
-[GridCalc](./GridCalc.md) and [Klong for the Web](./Klong.md). It also explains
-why I have taken time to recover old work such as ProblemScan, NCSA Mosaic,
-and the technical writing from my former sites.
+I’m also collecting some older work, including ProblemScan, NCSA Mosaic, and
+writing from my former sites.
 
-Christian faith is central to how I understand the world. I write about it in
-[Who Is God?](./WhoIsGod.md) and related notes. My family’s history belongs
-here too. The [eulogy I gave for my dad](./RandallRDipertEulogy.md) and the
-reading course he assembled in [The Well-Read Undergrad](./WellReadUndergrad.md)
-are parts of our inheritance that I want to keep.

-I still enjoy learning languages, reading, amateur radio, drones, lawn care,
-and conversations with people who are absorbed in something. If you would
-like one of those conversations, see [Coffee Time](./CoffeeTime.md).
