At the moment...

Quinn Said... is my blog. More often updated than the non-bloggy bits. You likely want to be there.

I recently started twittering again after a two year hiatus. I am sticking up occasional research there I can't be bothered to blog.

What you get when you cross geek with wonk: These days you can find me writing about IP issues for Maximum PC every month. I'm very much enjoying it, and looking through the archive of the blog you can find some great coverage of patent, trade secret, and copyright issues affecting geeky types.

My friend Dustin D. Trammell has set up a Body Hacking mailing list, to which I plan to send updates on my research and writings on the subject. To subscribe mail bodyhacking-subscribe@lists.caughq.org, and we'll put you one the list. It's a low volume list with a high signal-to-noise ratio, my favorite kind.
