Bio
Elaine Nelson has been making web stuff since 1998. She currently wrangles code and words for The Evergreen State College. She is particularly interested in the intersection between technology, writing, and psychology, and how content management and content strategy can be better friends. In her spare time, she enjoys bicycling, role playing games, writing, and knitting.
Alternate Bio (snarky edition)
Elaine Nelson was directionless with an English degree in the late 90s and then: GODDAMN INTERNET. In her current gig, she wrangles content and content management systems, but her last job was Webmaster, so she’s dabbled in all sorts of web work. She’s an editor at The Interconnected, previously published in The Pastry Box, and once had a poem published in an anthology of GenX writing, when that was the big new thing.
