My old friend, a music professor and composer of both opera and rock music: Dan Sonenberg

A ridiculously talented friend and endless font of creativity who goes by many names, currently going by Piscadoro Kingfisher: music and videos

Looks like my old friend Chris Simunek was running a website of his countercultural journalism & writing for a while over at Paradise Burning. He never mentioned it to me. That’s vintage Chris. Chris and his talented wife Rebekah Harris also run Shipwreck Montauk fine jewelery waaaay out on Long Island’s eastern end.

My good friend, inspiration, and fellow traveler H. Dean Clark documents his adventures as a road scholar as h.deanclark6796 on YouTube and on his professional photography website, Clark Fine Photography.

Fabulist Magazine is run by Josh Wilson, a tireless supporter of the literary and visual arts, and is well worth a look by anyone interested in speculative and science fiction, fantasy, myth, folk traditions, comics, magic realism, “literary fiction,” pop culture, film, music, and more.

My friend Nicole Gluckstern runs Substrate Arts, in-depth and experimental coverage of the Bay Area’s arts and cultural scenes, and chronicles her theater and journalism at Estrella Suerte Productions.

I’ve recently gotten involved with IndieWeb, a loose organization of developers and website owners dedicated to cultivating independently owned, interoperable web sites and services, free of the data silos and walled gardens of the big, corporate-owned sites and technologies.

Though I haven’t talked to them in a while, I’d be remiss in not mentioning my very long-term friends and employers at Green Tortoise Adventure Travel and the Green Tortoise Seattle Hostel and San Francisco Hostel, where I was alternately in-house FileMaker developer, Webmaster, IT Manager, and guitar-strumming hippie resident (not in that order) for almost 20 years. I try not to spend a lot of time looking backwards in life, but when I do, GT is inescapable. I still owe them a lot of money.

Long ago I ran in parallel lines with some freaky San Franciscan troublemakers in the Billboard Liberation Front and the Cacophony Society. Check ’em out, they’re good for a laugh.

I don’t think anybody else I know has an online presence outside of social media. Let me know I’ve left you out.
