Oh hi folks! I’ve landed here, because apparently all the other places are terrible now. Let’s hope this one isn’t!
I’m a PDX-based musician and product manager, and mostly interested in music, technology, and saving the world from itself.
Music stuff is at gene.is
Nice to meet you all!

Realizing now (because I apparently didn’t read the fan ballot carefully), that the HoF also snubbed [name of 90s British super band about to go on tour redacted to prevent indexing].
