Hi. I'm Steve, and I have an unhealthy love for regular expressions, JavaScript, Microsoft, and cigarettes. I also know a thing or two about most things related to web development, Futurama, pacing aimlessly, and ninjas. My day job (currently in Balad, Iraq) involves a lot of ColdFusion and Flex programming.

If programming books are your thing, you might be interested in Regular Expressions Cookbook (O'Reilly, 2009), which I coauthored with Jan Goyvaerts. More recently, I wrote the Strings and Regular Expressions chapter for High Performance JavaScript (O'Reilly, 2010). I also like working on open source code, and have released a number of small JavaScript projects including RegexPal and XRegExp, which are kind of nifty.
