After a haircut and better use of the word 'no,' Bradley is short on hair and long on time. He's a graduate student in the Department of English at the University of Florida.

He works with instructors and students in the Networked Writing Environment (NWE) at the University of Florida, administering the MOO, maintaining documentation, and advising faculty and staff who are teaching and conducting research in the NWE.

Bradley's PhD work, directed by Greg Ulmer, examines the ideology of ease as one part of the apparatus of computing, and in the process makes a salient argument about the complex combination of apparatus an ideology commonly called "the interface" (that's the plan, anyway).

Bradley still lives with his wife Erin (at left) and two orange cats in a cozy yellow house in Gainesville.

Tari Lin Fanderclai

Tari spent about ten years as a college writing teacher, including several years teaching in and managing a computer writing lab, classroom, and network--a fun job that didn't pay the rent. So she became a human factors engineer for The MITRE Corporation, doing research in human computer interaction and computer supported cooperative work. Recently, she moved on to Akamai Technologies, where she works in the Information Technology department, doing technical writing. In addition, she continues to consult for The MITRE Corporation's Collaborative Virtual Workspace project.

Tari is a co-founder and co-coordinator of the Netoric Project, and runs the educational MOO Connections. She lives near Boston with her husband, Jay Carlson, His Royal Highness Van the Cat, a ridiculous number of computers, and a collection of Teletubbies toys. In her off hours, if you can't find her on a MOO somewhere, she might be skating on one of the local bike paths.

Greg is an Instructional Designer in Ball State University's Teleplex, where he helps instructors prepare distance education courses for both the Internet and satellite TV. He hasn't totally abandoned the English department, though, since he also teaches first-year writing classes, focusing on developmental writing and computer-assisted instruction.

Back in 1993 he and Tari founded the Netoric Project, and he was a founding staff member of the online journal Kairos; he still maintains the Netoric website, but now only offers moral support and his readership to Kairos. He's still trying to finish his dissertation--on faculty development for computers and writing--and his "spare time" is pretty much devoted to keeping his new puppy from chewing up everything in site.

Cindy has recently moved from the desert of southern New Mexico to the rolling hills of the Palouse in eastern Washington (where it actually snows!). She is happily settling in as a new professor of Technical Writing in the English Department at Washington State University.

Before this summer, Cindy was finishing up her doctoral degree in Rhetoric & Professional Communication at New Mexico State University. Her past and current work focuses on technology and culture, technical and professional writing, and multimedia studies.

Cindy is a co-coordinator of The Netoric Project, serves on the editorial board of Kairos, and has published articles in Technical Communication and Computers & Composition.
