Who is The Activist Nerd?
My name is Garlin Gilchrist II. I’m the Primary Solution Architect for Opportunity Technology, specializing in:
- Technology Strategy
- Web Design & Web Development
- Database Design & Implementation
I blog here as well as at The SuperSpade (More info on me here) and Brave New Films.
What is this site about?
This site was inspired by this SuperSpade post, in which I present the idea that politics and technology will become more closely coupled as time goes on, and that technologists must take this responsibility head-on.
I’ll be blogging here about technology and social issues separately and at places where they intersect. Some of this site will be about code I’ve written, things I’ve worked on, or projects I’ve undertaken. Some of this site will be about technology policy. Some of this site will be absolutely random :-).
