You've found me on the internet. This page is here to point you on to more useful places.

Accounts

Vastly more likely to be up to date. Probably the best way to get in touch.

Hats

I wear a few.

I'm one part of Chroma, a product company.
Sacha Greif and I wrote Discover Meteor, which some fine folks think is pretty good.
You might want to check out out the Chroma or Discover Meteor blogs to catch my thoughts on various topics.

Meteor and Open Source

I like to stay involved in the Meteor community.

I maintain an unofficial FAQ, which give opinionated answers to a bunch of common questions.
I work on a bunch of Meteor packages, although our official packages are more likely to be production ready.
I've helped Sacha with Telescope over its lifetime.
