Hey, Shawn, good to hear from you. I was thinking about you several weeks 
ago--I was wondering where some of the old -AT-list people had gone off to.

Sorry to hear about your descent into dot-com hell. I've found myself 
resisting similar hell at my association of late. My main headache right now 
is having to go to more meetings and do more project management. I'm not 
supervising anybody yet (I wouldn't if they asked me) and don't expect that 
situation to change any time soon.

If you can find *any* free time in the future, and if you want to save your 
soul (yuk), there are several anarchist tech projects in development in the 
area (you are still in Baltimore, yes?). Flint Jones, who lives in Baltimore, 
has one server project and is working on Hackwork.org, which will be like 
Slashdot, but with a focus on tech worker issues. Our soccer buddie Ian has a 
new server up in Annapolis. He's got a fat server and a fat pipe and is 
looking for anarchists and activists who want to use the server. He says that 
almost anything goes. Finally, we have a little TAO sister collective here in 
D.C. One of our projects is mutualaid.org, which will be like TAO, but with 
web space available for anarchists, acitivists, and NGOs.

Oh. we're also working on a Baltimore-Washington tech worker IWW group.

This was the year *everything* changed.
