about meAn incorrigibly nomadic cyberanthropologist gone gonzo, I recently dropped out of graduate school to more fully tune in to emerging movements rooted in the shared struggle to reclaim the commons, create public spheres through the cultivation of open spaces, and enable direct democracy through principles of federation and open source or Read/Write culture. In my spare time, I make websites for my superhero friends, help to organize an emerging Oakland hackerspace (Sudo Room), and serve as a FOSS evangelist and connector of aligned humans, groups and projects. |
my projects Eudea - A Wikitown that aspires to become the world’s first technologically-oriented ecovillage.
 Sudo Room - Building a hackerspace in downtown Oakland.
 The Pyre - A collaborative, open source project to COLLATe utf8mb4_unicode_ci DIY toolkit for building resilient communities. |
