Who I Am
My name is Joe, and I’m a gay bear, writer, amateur photographer, sometime programmer, and an Avatar of Insomnia. I belong to the literary movement known as anti-genre. I am a published writer, though most of my publications were in my early 20’s. I was a contributing editor for AppleThoughts.com, but I’ve left due to recent spinal surgery and lack of time.
I’m a Buddhist, with my practice heavily influenced by Zen and Chan.
