proud member of cyberspace since 1992

About Me

I work as the Manager of Information Systems for a law firm in downtown Fort Lauderdale. I'm also an independent researcher with a PhD in political science from the University of Minnesota. When the mood strikes, I study and write about political theory, international relations, critical cultural studies, democracy and cyberspace. I maintain this site so that former and future colleagues have a place to find my work. Thank you for visiting. --Diana


Current Interests

Xena uber fanfic, Internet widgets, disaster recovery, and finding ways to promote democracy.


What I'm Doing Now

I'm learning digital video editing and sound mixing. I'm also working on a large writing project with enough material for three novels. The Internet, rhubarb, cooking contests, and modern society feature prominently. Stay tuned.
