About Me
I've been building web stuff (pardon the argot) since ~1994. Since we started up, I've lead technology for True / Slant. I spent the previous 8 years working with the magazines and web properties of Condé Nast; the last 18 months of that were working on parade.com and with their hundreds of newspaper partners. Before that I built cool products and businesses for About.com, Prodigy and IBM.
