🌏 I have traveled back and forth to Japan for about 20 years now– been fascinated with this place since I was a child, and if you ask me why– honestly, I couldn’t really explain. I’ve also done brief stints in Taiwan and Singapore too. 🏢 Professionally I am a part time journalist primarily covering East Asia and the tech sectors, and have worked in TV, film, print, radio, and multimedia/web since…well before DSL and WiFi! I love working with video and multimedia as a producer the most, but I’m happy doing anything in the New Media realm. I was a teacher of English and Mass Communication at a large private school in Tokyo, A full-time International News Editor for a large Asian media conglomerate and worked as a freelancer based in Tokyo from time to time. 🏡These days I’m no longer full time in Asia; I moved back back to Atlanta, GA where my current day job is as a cloud support engineer for a big software company that is probably running the OS in your computer. …The PCs that don’t have a fruit or cold weather loving flightless bird repping them anyway. 😉 ℹ️ This site is currently my digital garden; a space where I keep note of other sites on the web I’ve liked, bookmarked, and replied to. Of course I also have some of my articles and other long form posts here too. This site is connected to other websites by way of webmentions and ActivityPub forming a decentralized, federated social network of sorts. In fact, the only way I allow interaction with the content on this site is via these two methods. But it’s really easy to do and chances are you already are here because of your social media account anyway! 🗽 I also am using Indieweb techniques like POSSE and PESO to make sure all the content I create winds up here; so if you see something by me on Instagram or Twitter, you can be sure its also here on this site first.
