bascha

Editor, writer, and developer. I wear many hats, including the red one. Graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill School of Journalism; long-time interest in all things geeky. Editor of Red Hat Magazine and grizzled industry veteran, including time as an archivist for SunSITE UNC (now ibiblio.org) and ten-plus years at my current gig.

I love:

• vidya games and other dubious online experiences (Second Life, WoW, DDO, Rift--started out with Zork, IRC, and old-school BBS and MUDD/MOO/etc. groupings... old school nerd!)
• cooking, crafting, and creativity
• smart people
• openness, transparency, honesty, and trust
• coffee in all its delicious forms

I loathe:

• giving the web a version number
• social media "experts" (who send me spam)
• proprietary thinking about thoughts and ideas
• soggy cake or bread
• greed, selfishness, and a lack of humility
