I dig hacking, ethnography, music, and Digital Humanities. I like to build things with code and words.

PhD in Digital Humanities via King's College London. Formerly Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic at Cambridge (MPhil). A little Oxford. Some other places.

Current interests: history of computer science, decentralized tech, virtual ethnography, privacy.

Being a somewhat failed academic allows for a surprising amount of freedom to experiment with prose. To that end, I will be replacing all future Works Cited sections with a simple "Greetz" section like I'm writing an issue of Phrack or something.

(Wait... is this why I don't get to teach English anymore?)
