Jeff Penczak
Like many folks, I enjoy my volunteer work much more than my day job
(information analyst and technical writer for online help systems). Hobbies include gigs as an internet DJ and
writing reviews/interviews for Foxy Digitalis, the UK music journal
Ptolemaic Terrascope and Terrascope Online (for which I had the pleasure
of interviewing our illustrious editor-in-chief). John Peel is my hero and mentor, the man who taught me that anything in the Top 40 is probably not worth listening to. |
