Bio
I'm a reporter/ poet who became a Web pioneer in 1995 and never looked back (except I still do creative writing in between tech projects for Microsoft). Initial hire for seattletimes.com, founded Seattle Webgrrls and Seattle Linuxchix. As"Blog Queen" got employees blogginat at Microsoft, launched the XNA Indie games platform so people could write and sell Xbox games, now doing social media and community outreach for Bing. The peeved chicken in the photo is Business Chicken one of three urban chickens at my house.
I'm passionate about
Social media, UI design, video games, bath bombs, painted shoes, upcycling sweaters into new clothes
An idea worth spreading
How can the private sector companies - who often may compete with each other in the marketplace - find common ground to do social good? Let's explore.
The TED story
Still fascinated by the confluence of art, games, technology, and business - but as mentioned in another section, social good. There's a lot of untapped creativity and energy in all walks of life right now - what we do with it, will be important in the coming year.
