improvisation
I've been studying improvisational comedy at
Second City Chicago since about October 2006. I originally took classes because I'd hoped they would help me speak more clearly and think on my feet during interviews. Turns out they did those things, but so much more: They turned me on to a new life passion.
tutoring
826 CHI is part of the network of writing and tutoring centers founded by author Dave Eggers. I've been at 826 CHI since the fall of 2006. I've taught and worked on several workshops and done drop-in tutoring and even helped proof a book of the kids' work. Great group; if you live near any of the 826
chapters, please check it out.
podcast
A group of friends and I have started a comedy website,
Fun For Most. We're planning to host videos, writings and other random tidbits. The centerpiece of the site is So There I Was; a podcast in which we take stories sent in by listeners and recreate them through improvisation.
design
I'm forever trying to get better at all aspects of graphic and web design. Here's a site I'm working on for my friend
Charlie.
