My background is in Rhetoric and composition, with a smattering of semiotics, a taste for Foucault and Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon, and a fascination with America's narcissism.

I currently serve on the Board of Directors of 2 Million Dogs, write their blogs, do the occasional newsletter, and coordinate the yearly calendar.

Previously I taught the unknowable to the unwilling -- college English, in Tennessee and Texas.

I also write the blogs 2 Million Dogs -- The Blog, Brain Bait, The Panoptic Culture, and Being Batshit.
