Part-time Agitation Designer

I want the internet to be slightly better and write about surveillance capitalism and using digital technology responsibly.

Agitation:

persistent urging of a political or social cause or theory before the public.

Designer:

a schemer, intriguer, or plotter.

My blog has changed emphasis a number of times and is currently home to posts about promoting responsible technology and a slightly better internet.
