about meI'm Jenny Ryan, an incorrigibly nomadic cyberanthropologist gone gonzo.

Professionally, I work principally at the intersection of people and technology through my work with Open Garden, a startup developing mobile mesh networking technology, and Sudo Room, an activist hackerspace in Oakland, CA. In my spare time, I work on collaborative projects (see below), write poetry, make websites for my superhero friends and serve as a connector of aligned humans, groups and projects. |
