Currently

Working on guild structure as a model for distributed authority, restorative communication practices, and helping Noisebridge navigate community dynamics.

Old hacker on a rocking chair sessions: 5:55pm every Tuesday until the Tuesday meeting. Hear stories, meet other members, ask all the annoying questions you're too afraid to ask your own anarchist mom or dad.

Recent writing: Anarchy Paralysis • Excellent Hacker Fallacy • Restorative Communication • Open Letter

🦆 Rubber Ducky Guild 🦆

The Rubber Ducky Guild is my flagship guild concept at Noisebridge.

The premise: explaining your problem to a rubber duck (or any patient listener) often reveals the solution. This guild practices:

  • Listening without fixing - Sometimes people just need to talk it through
  • Question-asking as an art - The right question unlocks understanding
  • Psychological safety - No judgment, no mockery, just presence
  • Debugging life, code, and everything - Works for technical problems AND emotional ones

Status: Active concept, seeking interested practitioners
