My work in digital culture began by examining issues of identity in cyberspace. Over the years, I have investigated sex and sexuality, ethnicity, and most recently focused on issues of health and cybermedicine. Digital design has also always been a persistant feature of my work. I started working on websites in the late 1990s and have continued to learn how new software works.
A list of what I know well: adobe creative suite (fireworks, dreamweaver, acrobat, flash, photshop, illustrator), audacity, facebook, flickr, Google docs, Insights for Search, issuu, iMovie, iTunes, microsoft office, msn, second life, skype, slideshare, spotify, tweetdeck, twitter, wordpress.
