A Caveat
I've just moved back to Italy, after a year-and-a-half fuori paese.  As part of a careful process to re-settle and re-brand, this section of the site is undergoing some major revision.  So, if in the past you received a link from me to a page that is no longer listed here, rest assured that the page still exists for now (just paste it into the address bar above); I've only removed it from the left-hand navigation in order to make way for a new layout.



The Thirty-Second Elevator Pitch
Between a degree in Computer Science and Journalism, and almost eight years (at last count) of working as a technologist, technology project manager, technology manager, consultant, information architect, trainer, teacher, technical writer and writer -- this is what I can tell you about what I do, in a way that actually covers the crux of it:

I work with content, and I work with the communication of content, such that it becomes (to one or more people, whether they are readers or clients or users), information.

When technology is involved in this communication of content (for web sites, for software systems, for the Internet), I know how to use both the limiting and empowering factors of technology, to make the best of things.

When technology is not involved (and this is getting rarer and rarer), I know how to write.
