Best Practices in Biohacking primalhacker.com, 2020 I mentioned to Thaddeus of primalhacker.com that he needed more articles by women, so–of course–he asked me for one.

Responses to submissions to the Journal of Universal Rejection Journal of Universal Rejection, 2011-2015

I’m Wearing Bright Yellow Undies 2009, Nonprofit Online News, archived here. The subtitle is “How We Make Stuff Up When Communicating Online.” It’s so easy for our backbrains to think we connect on-line the way we do in person, but it isn’t true. I wanted to say this in a way that would be sticky in the brain, that people wouldn’t forget.
Buying Safe on the Internet Computer Bits Magazine, 2004 I wanted to give people clues about buying safe online. Privacy, scams, phishing, merchant reviews, return policies, credit card safety — all old news now, but at that time, new to most people using the net.
Internet Virus Antidote, with Richard Brodie The article is here. 2003 I saw an earlier version of this page, dropped Brodie email suggesting a few changes, and he enthusiastically encouraged me to rewrite the page. So I did.
The Virtual Village on the Edge of Cyberspace From the proceedings of The Second International Cyberspace Conference, 1991 In 1991 the on-line world we all call home was very new.
