Margo Miller hunts pirates... Web pirates, says the Poughkeepsie Journal. According to the paper, she's an attorney in London with Covington & Burling and hires investigators for software piracy cases. After getting her law degree at Columbia, she was an environmental litigator, working on cases involving federal land use. After five years at the Justice Department, she moved to London, where she lives with her British-born husband, Andrew Tabachnik. Margo had a warning for those of you tempted by free software on the Web: It may have a virus, since it's probably been stolen.

Rich Reilly is the new president of his family's greenhouse business, Rough Bros. Inc., based in St. Bernard, Ohio. He'll oversee operations for the firm, which, according to the Business Courier, is "one of the nation's largest in the niche industry of greenhouse manufacturing." Last year the company helped restore the U.S. Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C., and they've done major restoration work for Cincinnati's Krohn Conservatory. Other big projects are currently underway. The firm also builds greenhouses for professional growers. After graduation Rich worked for Morgan Stanley in New York and in Washington as a special assistant to U.S. Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher.

Christopher Berg has been creating puzzles since the fifth grade but as an undergraduate student in archaeology he traveled to Greece and found the inspiration to draw a maze of the Parthenon. Now, all these years later, he's the author of AMAZEing Art Wonders of the Ancient World, which was published by Harper Collins last fall. According to a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the book is "a rare and delightful blend of whimsy and knowledge. Mr. Bergs labyrinths delight the eye while he offers an introduction to some of the most fascinating monuments of the ancient world." The curator happens to be Sean Hemingway. The book contains more than 30 mazes of past architectural wonders, with accompanying essays about their construction, the people who created and lived in them and their fates. Check out his Web site at www.amazeingart.com. Chris has worked as a management consultant and an astronomer, and he currently lives in Berkeley, California.

In other artistic news, Mateo Romero is one of seven Indian artists featured in a beautiful new book published in Canada called ReservationX:The Power of Place in Aboriginal Contemporary Art.As regular readers of this column may remember, Mateo lives in New Mexico, where he has enjoyed tremendous success as a painter. His art is featured in local galleries and annually at Indian Market. According to the book, "Romero communicates the poignancy of contemporary Native life. Alcoholism, violence, poverty, commercialization, loss of religion, loss of family and just plain loss are presented without apologies." Mateo is quoted at length in the book about everything from living in a pueblo to building for the future. "I think my heart is more at peace in the quiet New Mexico setting. This is where I see myself raising my children. We can build corporate infrastructures and continue to live where our shrines were hundreds of years ago and still dance with children in the village. That is the beauty of it!" On being critical in art, he says, "I try to bring a critique or dialogue into the paintings I do. I try to have a subversive critique for people to see. I think that if you are critical, the art is better."
