About.

This is the Rad Geek People’s Daily, featuring the Geekery Today weblog. The website was launched in its current form on January 20, 2004. The 2004 launch was a thorough redesign of material that had appeared as a blog hosted by Eskimo North from March 4, 2001 to January 1, 2004, and material appearing on other websites in different incarnations going back to 1996.

The writing here is composed, edited, and managed using the WordPress open-source publishing system. (Before I migrated to WordPress, I used Blogger from March 4, 2001 to January 16, 2002, and MovableType from January 26, 2002 to February 24, 2007.)

About the Author

I’m a web developer, sometime writer, and student of Philosophy and History. I was born in Texas and spent most of my youth in the South, especially in Alabama. I’ve also spent some years kicking around Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, Michigan and Las Vegas, Nevada. I like a lot of things related to computer networks, information technology, open-source software, political radicalism, and analytic philosophy. I am an anarchist, and an individualist anarchist in particular; I do some ongoing research in history, radical political theory, and radical social movements; I enjoy cooking for small audiences, talking about ideas in person or [online][Comments Elsewhere], and studying dead and living languages.

Intellectual Property and Reprinting

Everything in these pages, unless tagged otherwise, was written by me. I view all forms of intellectual property as an unjustifiable tyranny and a destructive monopoly, as far as I’m concerned, all the writing, — and all the markup, scripts, style sheets, and other technical design elements — should be considered freely available for re-use, redistribution, modification and adaptation, as free software and free content, without needing prior permission. See my anticopyright notice for more on the whys and hows. This machine kills intellectual monopolies.
