I'm a writer and social media manager at a brand-building agency. I love the web, love writing, and love coffee.
When I'm particularly proud of the work I do, I will share it here, but mostly I'm here to meet other web geeks, share what I find on the web that's interesting, and stay up to date on non-MSM news.
Somewhat left of center and in my right mind.
