I'm also part of the Morris Communications/Morris Digital Works burgeoning global empire. When I'm actually in the office, I'm just around the corner from Ken. I was a print journalist for decades in Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota before becoming the founding editor of Star Tribune Online (now startribune.com) in Minneapolis in the pre-Web era. I was executive editor of the nationwide Cox Interactive Media network before moving to Augusta and becoming a corporate toadie. BlufftonToday.com is my special baby.
I, too, am not a geek. :-) I taught myself C in the 1990s and PHP around the turn of the century. I've been running Linux since kernel 0.96. Once upon a time I recompiled the kernel with every alpha release, but I've gotten over that.
Specific interests:
Hyperlocal community and social capital
Participative media (sometimes called "citizen journalism") and social implications
Social networking
Video, both video podcasting and the construction of video channels from databases
I'm also often accused, fairly, of not being able to pass up an international conference gig. I just agreed to do a UNESCO-sponsored panel in Paris.
