Hi! I am juul, also known as marc juul.

Juul is currently based in Oakland, California.

Here's my github account. I use Gittip. You can use it to send me recurring micro-tips and keep me working on awesome things:

currently active projects

Real Vegan cheese using cheese protein produced by genetically modified yeast.
People's Open Network / sudo mesh, a wifi mesh network in the east bay.
Co-organizing sudo room, a hackerspace in Oakland, CA.
Co-organizing Counter Culture Labs, a science hacking lab in Oakland, CA.
Fread: A free and open source operating system for e-ink devices (pre-release status).
freestore.cc: The Online Free Store. Software similar to GNU MediaGoblin, but written in node.js, using leveldb, focused on decentralized deployment and aiming to become a viable alternative to e.g. the iTunes store, netflix, etc. using only freely licensed content (pre-release status).

Marine biology / scuba hacking: I'm learning marine biology, mostly through self-study. I'm trying to use my existing skills (microbiology, IT) to gain a foothold in the field. Let me know if you want to co-learn/teach or colloborate!
Hackpacks: Ultra-cheap backpacks with a basic hacking tool set aimed at 14 to 22 year old hackers.

To be combined with workshops teaching the use of the tools.
