I'm a crusty old nerd who chases bright shiny things and loves playing with old computers :) Especially my Atari 800XL and Amiga.

I build castles in the cloud(s) for a living.

My award-winning book Adventure Journalism in the Gilded Age is now available at online bookstores. I've written over 200 academic articles & book chapters; over 200 magazine articles; I can't seem to stop writing!

My academic work is mainly about #SelfEmancipatedSlaves and #Abolitionists.

My politics work is always about the #Democrats.

Love to reconnect with my Twitter peeps plus find new people here!
