About meBay-Area-born musician; museum professional engaged with digital technology (strategy, collections information, imaging, etc.); degrees in music and ethnomusicology, with an interdisciplinary dissertation that trespassed incautiously into American studies; long intrigued by intersections of media technologies and cultural meaning; long susceptible to bringing home more books than I have time to read.

About my libraryAcademic books (most cataloged only in a local database) plus fiction, art books, and other stuff. After an initial burst of entering some here, now and then I add more or explore overlapping libraries--like glancing over spines on shelves at some less long-distance gathering, glass in hand.
