About

Ninmah Meets World is about the intersection of my online identity (Ninmah), my offline identity (rss), and the rest of the world. Sometimes it’s not pretty. As a good friend says, sometimes you’re the windshield, and sometimes you’re the bug.

I work for the New Media Consortium. I have a hard time explaining what I actually do. Some of it is writing (a lot of it, lately, which is not a bad thing). Some of it is drawing, which is pretty cool. I used to doodle in high school and get detention. Now I doodle at work and get kudos. Go figure. I also organize things and direct projects and try to be generally helpful.

My home is in lovely northern California, smack in the 9-perfect-months-in-every-12 wine country. Rough life. I have a rotating series of hobbies that mostly involve taking small pieces of things and putting them together into larger things: quilting, scrapbooking, stamp collecting. You can often find me in the evenings on Khadgar in World of Warcraft.

I only blog sometimes.

The name Ninmah comes from Sumerian mythology. It’s been my screen name since long before most people had screen names.

The postcards are an old hobby (dating back to 1996) carried over from my pre-Web 2.0 static site. Now they are all full of WordPress goodness and hosted here.

The photos in the headers are mine, from hobbies or travels or just pictures that came out well.
