About your host

Indiana-based techie, originalist, moderate pro-life Republican, Scalia fan, occaisional Wikipedian, all-around affable nerd. Agnostic heading towards Deism, and aspirant Christian. Fantastically lucky (and perpetually bemused) husband of The Best Wife Ever™, stepdad to a great kid and daddy to three hyperactive cats. Bassist and prog rock fan. Provides semi-regular commentary on the world, the web, music and the law.

I Respectfully Dissent is emphatically not a blawg, but because most of the blogs I read and am interested in are blawgs, it will often present a more lightweight (and more opinionated) take on similar territory. It does tend to focus on the sort of things you'd expect to find in the pages of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, because, well, I'm interested in law and public policy. And Pink Floyd. In any event, it is hopefully a little more eclectic than Prawfsblawg, but more focused than Althouse (and without the pop culture zeitgeist).
