way back i got a first-class chemical engineering degree, but collected my first collection of readings in semiotics and anthropology
a little less far back i got a PhD in history and social studies of science, but spent my time as a trade union activist, libertarian socialist and subversive in a science-based corporation
i drew cartoons, made posters, designed books

between times i published two books, taught systems theory and creative writing, theorised on human-centred design, was a co-founder of a radical academic journal collective
