| − | I'm an [[AboutUs]] employee working primarily within the [[:Category:CommunityMember|Community Team]]. Because writing and teaching the community are my main areas of focus, I do a lot of work on messaging, the [[AboutUsWeblog.org|Weblog]], [[Featured|promoting featured pages]], and help-related topics and articles. I also actively help [[RecentChanges patrol|Patrol RecentChanges]] and [[WelcomingPeople|welcome people]], among other things. I've been with [[AboutUs]] since August 2006.

In addition to a variety of gigs in those fields, I was formerly the news director for a community radio station in Olympia, WA. I'm also an avid baseball fan and know way too much about classic rock. I've also been a computer geek since I was eight and am happy to be helping out at AboutUs.org.

| − | As a writer I have been published in numerous journals across the US (none of which you're heard of), and was one of the co-publishers of the now defunct [[WaywardCouch.com|Ellipsis... Literary Serials and Narrative Culture]], a monthly literary magazine highlighting the long lost tradition of the "Literary Serial." Although in earlier years it varied, for the last couple of years I've been publishing nearly exclusively under my full name, "Takashi L. Kendrick".
