    Bio

    I use WordPress to power a variety of personal, professional, non-profit, e-commerce, and podcast sites, many of them themes around local arts or retrocomputing.

    Interests

    Diversity in gaming, Apple II, contra dancing, Star Trek, podcasting, multiple sclerosis

    WordPress Origin Story

    After migrating from CompuServe to GEnie to Delphi, I decided to found my own home on the Internet and used WordPress to do it.
