I'm the executive producer for the web site of a nonprofit publisher of education news, information, and resources, I play in a band, and I work on analyzing and influencing the impact of computers on society. I love my partner in life and my daughter very much.

Paul's Web Space 2.1

Politics, Culture, Technology

Stories about cool events I've attended, musings about social media and other technology, and commentary about people, issues, ideas, whatever. I've had a web site since 1994, at my own domain since 1997, and switched it to blog format in 2005. Now, in 2008, I've added labels, shuffled things around a bit and fixed some style and UI quirks - hence 2.1. Watch for more widgets and microformats....

Preserve the Internet Standards for Net Neutrality

I recently signed onto a statement supporting Net Neutrality that was spearheaded by New Yorkers for Fair Use. We actually got a bit of press attention (InfoWorld).

I signed onto that effort as an individual. I also arranged for CPSR to join the SavetheInternet.com Coalition as a charter member. I am CPSR's lead Intellectual Property activist, and at the time, I was also a board member.

Others doing interesting work on this issue include Common Cause, MoveOn.org, and Public Knowledge. PK also posted a very funny audio clip of Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) speaking against net neutrality.
