Occupation:

I'm a web professional emeritus from the State University of New York at Fredonia, fredonia.edu.

Now, I build web things for non-profits, and make films at www.listening.pictures.

Interests:

Folding paper cranes.

Deeply curious about many ideas and perspectives: list of my favorite TED Talks with a talk by Scott McCloud on his method to find out what MAY be:

1. Learn from everyone.
2. Follow no one.
3. Watch for patterns.
4. Work like hell.

Perspectives:

Quaker and Buddhist teachings inform my anti-fascist, pacifist views. I am opposed to acts and threats of violence. To constrain coercion by the powerful, our society must include everyone.

Always have been.
Always will be antifa.
