About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Hi! I help moderate Metafilter!

Here's me and a pony.

Check out, if you have not, the Metafilter Compilation Album. It's a genuinely great collection of recordings by Metafilter users. Profits go to music-education charity, and the project is in the black now so your order is pretty much pure altruism. I'd compel you to think of the children, but the disc is good enough that you'd be okay ordering it even if our charity was funding puppy strangling.

So go order a copy, dammit.

Current web stuff:
Word Clouds ~ Metafilter toy that creates a proportional "cloud" of fifty or so words that represent a user's comments or a thread on the site.
MarkovFilter ~ official Metafilter toy that generates new "comments" based on user comment histories
Bunt Cake ~ a new surrealish web comic made from sliced-up baseball cards
Manifests ~ home (and companion site) of an album I wrote and recorded in February 2007
Metafiltr ~ Metafilter 2.0. Now with more flash and reflective logos!
Josh Millard Speaks! ~ my main blog, hq and staging grounds. Needs a bit of an overhaul, but the best way to know what's going on in Josh Town.
Pen and Inklings ~ sketch-a-day-ish plus commentary, as I try to formalize and polish my drawing abilities.
Laundryroom Swapmeet ~ weird crap that people leave on the laundry room table of my apartment building.
Pedestria ~ photographic record of people out on foot in and around Portland, OR.
Polyorama ~ gallery of combinatoric polyorama art from various folks (including interrobang, taz, and iconomy).
cortex tracks on Mefi Music ~ sporadic musical contributions to my favorite subsite.
The Aural Times ~ a (lately badly neglected) singing newspaper; I render headlines as pop tunes. Even if I never get around to updating it again, there's about 70 songs in the archives.
ReFi: Metafilter Remixed ~ an (always badly neglected) review of trends in Metafilter Past.

Photos I take live on Flickr, yonder.
