  Multiple sites

  Sept 2000 - Mar 2013

  Blogger/writer

  Prior to the sites I currently write for and/or manage, I wrote consistently for numerous other websites. I was the founder and editor for farsightedonline.org and thepaintedman.com. I also wrote for Crap Filter, The Yule Blog, Decapolis, and several other sites. Before the Internet gained full steam, I also cut my teeth in the 90s writing for and producing "zines" (self published magazines, copied on Xerox machines).
