I’m Michele. I wrote the following bio for those who take my online humor seriously.
Writing: My first publication was a sports article for the University of Houston’s Daily Cougar newspaper. My first Internet job was writing online reviews in 1999. Around that time, I wrote a screenplay, which will remain nameless.
In 2006, I started a few blogs and began writing about culture, policy, politics, parenting, poker and technology. I’m currently consolidating my writing to this site.
Policy: B.A. in Psychology + minor in Sociology. My degree plan focused on Urban Social Analysis, Cultural Psychology, American Social Class + Mobility and Social Psychology.
My passion for politics began when I volunteered at the 1992 Republican Convention. I’m a swing voter and I’m not registered with any political party. I’m mostly passionate about political campaigns.
I’ve been asked to assist with State Legislation in Texas twice.
Culture: I’m a mother of two children, one of which is a cancer-survivor. For nearly a decade, I’ve researched green products, VOCs, organic foods; and other environmental issues. I’ve donated to charity but I’m mostly proud of my long hours of volunteer work.
I’m, at least, a 13th generation American.
I know Western Civilization as well as any other consumer.
Tech: My tech experience started with our Commodore PET and my first computer was a Commodore 64. I began using the Internet in the 1980s and took COBOL Programming in college.
I’ve been playing Atari Pong since the day it came out. As well as that gaint white handheld football gaming device. I’ve since upgraded to an XBox 360, Wii, iPhone and DSi.
Women: I’m a woman.
Work: I developed business skills running a development company and owning my own real estate brokerage for nearly a decade. I found the housing market disappointing and uninspiring. After making a 2006 World Series of Poker final table, I returned to online media.
No, I’m not a professional player nor affiliated with online sites. The majority of my time in the poker industry was in media. Since 2006, I’ve created content as a columnist, chapter author, mom blogger and a reporter.
