Power Racing Series Coming to Maker Faire New York

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon.

In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.
