I write for the Library of Congress about personal digital archiving, digital preservation leaders and developments in digital preservation; I also produce public information videos and podcasts. On the side I write reviews for the Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association and I work with community historians in Fredericksburg, VA and County Donegal, Ireland to get oral histories digitized and served online. I also wrote for the Whole Earth Review, the Millennium Whole Earth Catalog and Warner New Media and I produced a Bay Area world-music TV show. I am currently reading short stories by Michael McLaverty.
