I live in Takoma Park, MD in a building that will shortly be converting to a condominium regime. I studied film and popular culture at the University of Maryland, College Park. I manage the local Video Americain, and I'm working on my thesis in American Studies with Jo Paoletti.
The Wanton Machine, my radio show on WMUC 88.1, is in its fifth year on the air.
I edit and otherwise mess with video using Final Cut Pro and digital processing.
I am interested in emerging technology and social identity on internet.
Sometimes, I paint.
