Janthology, my DUFF campaign zine (a collection of "greatest hits" from my fanzine writing)  

My So-Called Life

• I recently moved to Melbourne, Australia.
• I work as a technical editor.
I've collected a list of Sites for Web Writing Guidelines
• Here's a presentation on style guides that I've given
• My resumé (you never know!)
• I have a baby brother Jerry (four minutes younger than me :-> ) who is an actor
• I belong to Kehilat Nitzan, the only fully Conservative Jewish congregation in Australia.
• I read Torah, and found a great line-by-line trope page for Torah portions and haftorot, complete with sound files!
• I like to do Israeli folkdancing, ballroom dancing, and Regency dancing
• I also read a lot of mysteries, mostly ones set in different historical periods.
• Baseball parks I've visited (you'll also find out how the Braves tomahawk chop got started!)

My Fannish Career

• I read a lot of science fiction (see my favorite SF books). (For a more professional view, you might want to take a look at Gardner Dozois's recommended SF reading list -- he's the multiple-award winning editor of Asimov's magazine.)
• I attend many science fiction conventions (see my convention career)
  
• I give out Sorta Annual Worldcon Awards when I attend a worldcon or NASFiC.
  
• I have been a member of several amateur press associations (APAs)
  
• I invented the SMOFTalmud.
• I developed some moderator tips for Program Ops to hand out to people moderating panels at conventions (also available in PDF format)
  
• Convention pictures of me on other sites
  
• Con reports: Scotland and Intersection (LONG), LoneStarCon 2, Boskone 1998, Bucconeer, SMOFcon 16, photos from my trip to Hawaii for Conolulu (Westercon 53), my trip to Florida for the space shuttle launch, Smofcon 19 in York, UK, Torcon, including photos of Niagara Falls, and photos from my trip to Memphis (including Graceland) for DeepSouthCon 2004
  
• Special trip report including the 2002 New Zealand and Australian Natcons
