Here's my official bio for the book:

CHRISTIAN CRUMLISH is a writer, consultant, and artist who has been involved in developing and writing about web technology for the last decade. He is a prolific blogger and is well connected in both the social-software arena and among technically savvy political organizers. His previous books include Coffeehouse: Writings from the Web, The Internet for Busy People, and The Internet Dictionary. He lives in Oakland, California.

As a writer, I'm glad we can all talk to each other now.

If my homepage were a blog, it would be this monolog. My new book is The Power of Many. I practice the lost art of herding cats. Insert updated slang meaning back in the day and prehistory.

Dear diary, my shack in the gated community still makes me a yuppie but for now i am also still at typepad.

Among the geeks i am a nerd, and among the nerds i am a geek, in some nanosliver of that venn diagram, i am popular/geeky/meta. My linkinlogses iz now co-maintained by MichaelZ.

I play ukulele and guitar in two bands, Layers of Meta and The Power & Mighty.

I am still collecting dribs and drabs of my online presence, my digital identity, whatever you want to to call it (I call it my next book but more about that later).
