jrrl.com is my personal blog. I am John Leavitt, a professional Internet jack-of-all-trades since 1994. I was one of the founders of Lycos, tried another startup from 2000 to 2001, and now spread myself around wherever there are things to be done online, preferably making money or waves or, ideally, both. Feel free to read my Steampunk blog if your interests run that way.
