I was the typical consumer-only music fan until getting involved with the filk* community in 2004. Since then, I've spent a lot of time on original music, writing and performing.

Outside of music, my activity usually involves computers, cats, cameras, and science fiction and fantasy literature.

Update for September sprint 2026: Nice to be back. I truly enjoyed the July edition. I have two pieces of music I hope to do for external challenges; other than that, it's whatever comes to mind.
