I'm a lawyer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I specialize in entertainment law: copyright, trademark, and contract matters for creatives, entertainers, and performers in all media. My IP expertise includes Creative Commons and GPL licensing, as well as online content provider defense (libel, defamation, objectionable content, etc.) My general practice covers family law, real estate transactions, debt collection, wills, powers of attorney and other end-of-life decisionmaking, and trusts and estates.

In a past life I lived in Seattle for about 10 years, where I moderated a Usenet newsgroup, worked for a high-tech dot-com start-up, and lived in a cohousing community.

 - recipes

The Vegan and Vegetarian Recipe Index is a project of mine that I maintained for several years. Vegetarianism is a healthy, cost-effective, humane, and environmentally responsible way to live. One recent item on the vegetarian pages is a short essay that I particularly enjoyed writing: Tips for a Frugal Thanksgiving.
 - consensus
Interested in secular consensus, group process, intentional communities, and jazz like that? This document is for you. Ground Rules for Meetings Run on a Consensus-Based Process outlines ten basic agreements on meeting behavior that your group, community, or household will find useful in adjunct to whatever parliamentary order or process manual your organization has already chosen to use.
 - victoriana
Completed in 2003: my great-grandmother's aunt, Sara Munro, kept an autograph book from 1883 to 1891. Inside it are signatures and notes from friends and family. I've transcribed it here.
 - photos
I've traveled some, and posted some pictures for your pleasure. Includes London, Normandy, Seattle, and archaeological digs. Not updated recently, unfortunately.
