My name is James Quinby. I am a husband, father of nine, grandfather of two, diaconal candidate, lay catechist, ham radio op, and backyard naturalist.
My theological interests are the spirituality of the desert fathers and mothers (Cassian and Evagrius in particular), catechesis, and evangelization. Other interests: René Girard, Charles Taylor, Augustine, and Aquinas.
This blog is a place to organize my occasional thoughts around those things. I don’t get into work-related stuff here; this is very much on purpose. Suffice it to say that I’ve spent close to 30 years in IT. These days, I tend to focus more on people than technology. Even so, and to remove any doubt on the reader’s part: any views expressed here are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer.
I have a presence on the following but am not particularly active on any of them. To the extent that I publish anywhere online, it’s here.

I also hang around on Metafilter.
