Hi. I am Mike Gorse, and this is the latest incarnation of my personal web page / a portal to my creations. I work for Novell on a team that is bridging UI automation to atk. I live in Waltham, although, now that I'll be working in Cambridge, I may move closer to the city if I find a good housing situation.

  • In Case youwere Wondering and In Case you were Wondering, (II) -- are articles that I wrote/helped write in college for TechNews (WPI's newspaper) to try to answer questions that people may have / that I am commonly asked. The former (which Kelly Boyle from the West Street House put together with help from me) discusses ways to help a blind person who is traveling, while the latter discusses academics and how I use computers.
