I've been hovering on the periphery of IT for 25 years, but never really fully engaged. In 1997, I wrote a paper in undergrad poli sci entitled, "Virtual Space and Idea-Sharing Amongst Public Interest Groups in Canada." It was the seed of an interest I regret never pursuing.

Post leukemia treatment, "thinking work" is that much harder, but the intersection of policy and tech is more important than ever. I feel compelled to engage.
