Uche Ogbuji's' home

I'm a Nigerian-American, resident in the US since 1990; living in Colorado since 1997, and presently in Superior, just south of Boulder. My e-mail address is FIRSTNAME AT LASTNAME DOT net.

Lori and I were married in 1996. We have three sons: Osita (b. 2000), Jide (b. 2002) and Udoka (b. 2005). My parents, Dr. Linus and Mrs. Margaret Ogbuji, live in Cleveland, Ohio where my parents, run Amara Home Care. My father retired as Materials Engineer at NASA Lewis Research Center and my mother as RN at University Hospitals. My brothers also live in Cleveland, Chimezie, a computer engineer at Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and Ejike.

I'm founding partner at Zepheira, LLC. We provide solutions (consulting and framework software) for enterprise data architecture for Semantic Web and social computing (AKA Web 2.0). If you're non-technical, think about the difference between putting a simple page like this on the Web, and putting a huge amount of organized information, say all the catalogs of the biggest library you've been to. We specialize in the challenge of organizing huge amounts of information on the Web. I've been an entrepreneur round about open source and advanced Web engineering since 1997, when I founded Fourthought.

I just about flunked out from Electronic Engineering at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka for three years before transferring to Computer Engineering at Milwaukee School of Engineering, where I graduated in 1994.

I love the day job, but my true passion is literature, and poetry in particular. I'd have striven towards a writing career if my parents hadn't convinced me with the usual parental sense that I might want to secure a more economically assured background first.

Cara Musis a site for the exploration of traditional literary craft, with emphasis on both European and African traditions, in addition to wider catholic ambitions.

I found my spiritual home in Colorado. Can't get enough of the climate, culture, recreation, and fascinating people, as well as the gorgeous mountains and crisp, clean air (outside downtown Denver).

I play football (the real sort) for sport in Summer and I snowboard with the family in Winter. Otherwise, I read or listen to music (well I always listen to music). First-generation hip-hopper, from when it an un-cool outlet for those who just never quite fit in wherever they were. Now that rap has gone mainstream, I stick to what my vain colleagues would still call "hip-hop". The inspired stuff spanning from Rakim through BDP and Ultramagnetic MCs through Mos Def, Talib Kweli and The Roots. Other than that, I listen to whatever's good, from high life to ska to classical music to pop.
