I am the administrator and editor of two WordPress-powered websites. I post long-form articles on The New Leaf Journal and short-form posts on The Emu Café Social. I write about thinks I am interested in, which includes, but is not limited to: Anime, Brooklyn, Current Events, History, Linux, Open Source Software, Reading, Sports, Video Games, Visual Noevls, Walking, Writing, and many other topics. I mainly use GitHub to follow projects and repositories that interest me. I do maintain some WordPress-related repositories on my Gitea instance. My day job involves legal research and writing in the area of U.S. immigration law.

I created a "social" profile on The Emu Café Social. It has a micropost activity stream which is separate from the main part of the site. You can see it here. It has an ATOM feed if you want to add it to your reader.
