our mission:
To offer events, services, ideas, writing, visual art, weird observations, and conversation in a manner that increases our audience’s understanding of the human condition and helps them transcend a life of quiet desperation, as well as to provide a forum where suburbanites can express the angst of achieving the American dream and purchase ethical merchandise that alleviates their common, often abstract, anxieties, and do all of these things in a way that makes the world better, not worse.
about the voice
I’m the voice in your head right now.
Also, I’m an associate professor of communication at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Secret Master of the Galaxy.
I have a PhD in Texts and Technology, an MA in Creative Writing, and a BA in Liberal Studies from the University of Central Florida, an AA from Broward Community College, a high school diploma from Bella Vista High School, and a Kindergarten completion certificate dated 1975 from somewhere in the heart of Texas.
Before teaching, I worked in the legal field for around ten years, drafting thousands of fatuous legal pleadings and other documents. After that, I worked in public relations as a writer for a technology consulting firm with several years to follow as a freelance writer. Much of whatever success I have had in the workplace and elsewhere, I attribute to studies in the humanities, genetics, WordPerfect 3.0, and general happenstance.
My research interests include issues in medicine, social media, digital text communication in interpersonal relationships, visual design, social media, crime and technology, jail culture, adult recreational tennis ‘psychology’, and how mobile phones are disrupting the cosmos.
Experimenting with Web site design, doing photography, working with Photoshop, writing, playing tennis, and running are some other things that I like to do. I’ve run seven marathons, slowly, and I’ve always found the atmosphere interesting and perplexing.
I also like cats.
