| about my work = My past research ranges from an extensive ethnography of online social networking ([http://thevirtualcampfire.org The Virtual Campfire]), to digital literacy skills for the 21st century (with [http://rheingold.com Howard Rheingold]), to the legal and ethical dimensions of problematic online content (with [http://danah.org danah boyd]), to posthuman anthropological explorations of how the dead live on online. My research and writings are made freely available to the public (open access rules!) and can be found on [http://jennyryan.net my homepage].

[http://thepyre.org The Pyre] project is a collaborative effort to build a comprehensive set of DIY tools and resources to create and maintain socially equitable, ecologically sustainable and economically robust human societies. We are engaging as many interested parties as possible to collaborate on the creation of an extensive compendium of blueprints for building sustainable communities. Our intent is to distribute these blueprints on a set of individually encrypted USB keys supporting the Live Linux Debian operating system that each user can customize to suit their individual needs and purposes. These keys would also provide the software platform for private and secure intra-community communication and organization, as well as inter-community peer-to-peer networking and collaboration.
