Founder and Editor of Critical Margins blog and podcast


Interview starts at 14:16



I want people to see online content as something that’s in flux. We have such a great opportunity right now for people to see us as human beings, right? That we are content producers who are figuring it out as we go, basically. And that’s important to me. And that’s something I’ve always tried to do at Critical Margins.

How You Can Support E-Books for Troops


Thanks to your generous support, we have raised more than $1,500. Thank you! This means we have $3,500 left to raise in order to meet this year’s fundraising goal. Click here to help, so we can continue to distribute donated Kindles to U.S. Soldiers deployed overseas.

Thanks to all of you who are already supporting E-Books for Troops, and a special thanks to M-Edge Accessories, which donates new Kindle cases whenever we need them to supplement cases that we receive with the donated Kindles.


Music for my podcast is from an original Thelonius Monk composition named “Well, You Needn’t.” This version is “Ra-Monk” by Eval Manigat on the “Variations in Time: A Jazz Persepctive” CD by Public Transit Recording” CD.
