About me

Let’s try this Andy Rooney-style …

I’m a tinkerer, really, with a passion for discovering new things, coming up with new ideas and displaying them in some way.

Although I am moving out of a journalism job, I don’t think you’ll ever take the journalist out of me.
I’ve practiced journalism in some capacity since high school. I’ve learned a lot over the past 10 years.
Coming soon: a career shift. I’ll be helping put together Kent.edu, starting in early January. Graduate school in information architecture is coming probably later in 2009.
I am an avid reader. At any given time I’m reading three or four books at once, but not at the same time.
I blog because it’s a fantastic way to self-teach new skills and explore my random tech-geek thoughts.
Speaking of self-teaching, that’s how I learn nearly every thing. I may not know how to do what you’re asking me, but I’m pretty good at figuring it out.
I can’t seem to cheat on my home state. No matter how hard I try, I’ve only managed to escape Ohio via vacation or work-related trips.
Northeast Ohio is my secret lover. Some day, I swear, I will cheat on her and try another state. Odds are it will be a Midwestern state…
