A retired high-tech glassblower, lifelong learner and critical digital humanist, I glean meaning from experiences and tell stories.
Born in Hollywood the year James Dean died, grew up in Nixon's Whittier as Disney's land metasticized in nearby Orange County.
I worked in "Surveillance Valley" for 20 years.
Now back in Whittier.

Backlash after UC Berkeley agrees to pay $1M to settle antisemitism lawsuit

Attorneys representing the groups that filed a lawsuit alleging UC Berkeley failed to protect Jewish students from antisemitism are asking a judge to reject the $1 million settlement, saying it will make it "impossible for the students... to speak openly and freely."
