I kept trying to have a single blog here.
Really, I did. The problem is that it's still considered a faux pas to mix your personal and professional lives on the internet. We both know that a person can easily piece it all together, but I don't make the rules, I just play by them. So in any case, the places below are where I devote most of my online time these days.
Carbon.
The fourth most common element in the universe, it is also the chemical basis for all known life. In fact, humanity's reliance upon the element extends to a societal level, in the form of our current fossil-based energy infrastructure. While less impressive, it is also the title of my personal blog.
Polis.
Greek for the idea of city and government, it is in essence the body politic: The metaphysical public space where ideas are debated, leaders rise and fall, and the path of a state is charted. This is my small effort to contribute to that space.
Phoenix Strategies.
My one-man web design and strategic communications firm. Aimed at the political community, I'm hoping to move Virginia campaigns and advocacy out of the twentieth century mindset they seem mired in, while making a living in the process.
The Virginia Interfaith Center.
The only official hat I wear these days, I'm director of Virginia Interfaith Power & Light, the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy's environmental program. With the help of colleague Ali Faruk, I just got a staff blog up and running.
