I live in Minneapolis. Or I used to, until I moved to Chicago in July, 2006.In the past I've created very widely used spamblocking tools, worked in radio a bit, and I used to work in graphic design. I just quit a good job where I was a marketing director for an Internet company.In my spare time (ha), I help my friends with websites and various other projects. I create posters and other printed materials for a local jazz club, and I manage their website .I also help people with spam issues and am a member of the moderation team for a USENET newsgroup .I get way too many emails in a day.I'm learning my way around Chicago. I've been going there for years, but now I've finally moved there. Mostly for love, but it's an easier choice because I've been going to Chicago for vacations for years, and it's not totally unknown to me. But still...it's different, considering that I have lived in Minneapolis proper for the first 34 years of my life.
