There are a good number of ways to reach me across the 'net (which is where you'll find me most of the time, either professionally or just having fun).

In order from most to least used, I'm available on many instant messaging networks, through Internet audio and video telephony, and email.

I keep this list updated to show what new technologies I'm using. Peruse the list for a service that you like (they're all free to use) and please pick the ones which please you.

Instant Messenging (IM) is much more immediate and interactive than email; it's my preferred contact method of choice these days.

I try to keep my IM status correct 24/7.

Voice over IP (VoIP) via SIP (Gizmo) is always-on because it's intergrated seamlessly with my Instant Message client, Adium. Because not everything else works together so beautifully, I turn on specific programs for particular kinds of audio (Skype) or video (iChat, iVillage) when I know you're trying to contact me.

Email is another good way of reaching me. Should you choose to encrypt your email, my PGP key is available at your favorite keyservers worldwide; the key ID is 0x8943B2A5.
