Surviving leukemia since 2001. I was grateful to receive fresh stem cells in 2009. Now, trying to make choices to model a better world for my family and others.
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.

I'm Stuart. After spending the first part of my life pursing a traditional career and family life, I was gently, then rudely, awakened by two encounters with #leukemia, and a #StemCellTransplant.
Now, a big part of my focus is learning about #cooperative and #participatory models of organization, decision-making, and economic exchange. I'll probably post lots of questions and ideas along these lines.
I also enjoy #gardening, and riding my #RecumbentTrike.
