how to reach me

I'm pretty easy to find.  If you don't have my email address, phone number, or postal address, you can find ways to contact me with a quick Google search.  You can also find me on Facebook.  Or, indeed, on a bunch of other social networking sites, though really Facebook is your best bet.

facts of life

• I'm married.
• I have a cute baby.
  
• There are a bunch of photos you can look at for more details.
  

law talkin'

• I'm back at Keker & Van Nest, now of counsel and focusing on cutting edge tech cases.
  
• I worked for the Electronic Frontier Foundation on intellectual property issues.
• I used to manage the litigation group at Google.
• Before that, I spent several years bobbing and weaving in all manner of cases at Keker & Van Nest.
• I clerked for the Honorable Claudia Wilken, a United States District Judge in the Northern District of California.
• If you must know more, you can.
  

dot-edu

• I got my JD at Berkeley Law (aka Boalt Hall).
• My undergraduate degree is from the University of Michigan.
• I did the usual baker's dozen years before that, all in the Okemos Public Schools, culminating with my graduation from Okemos High School in 1987 (I have a collection of photos from my ten year reunion).

professional geek

• Before law school, I was a working geek at IGC, a non-profit, progressive Internet shop that ran PeaceNet and EcoNet.
• While at IGC, I was part of the team that gave the League of Conservation Voters its first web presence, in February 1994.  The LCV site was then an oasis of non-geeky content on the Web, in what then was a world of geeky sites and sites about geeks.
• Before that, I spent some time working as a tech support drone for the University of Michigan.

yadda yadda yadda

• I was once some of the news that's fit to print.
• I like to cook.
• I collect quotes that amuse me from case law.
  
• Many years ago, in what was perhaps my first serious introduction to the concept of adult responsibility, I was part of the Inter-Cooperative Council at the University of Michigan, a student-owned, student-operated corporation that owns and manages a boatload of houses (twenty or so these days). During that time, I learned how cool co-ops are in general, and I learned a lot about the student co-op movement in the U.S. and Canada from the folks at NASCO, the North American Students of Cooperation.
• My hair used to be really long.  It also used to be really short.
• I was one of the original supporters of the Amazing Netscape Fishcam.
