Founded the History Commons project in 2002.
My energy is devoted to developing social and technological systems that alter the relationships between consumers and producers in a way that decentralizes power and cuts out the rent-exacting middle man.
Currently taking a break away from the History Commons—been busy working for a N. Californian Solar company during the day, and developing a solar-related web application in the evenings.
