Hey, saw that you were tweeting some of my old pieces on Anonymous. Here's something more extensive and current.

Also, Housh joined PM yesterday and is merging a charity information site/ap he made with our Africa project and now hangs out in our IRC chat. He's the one I mentioned to you a while back that I've long been in touch with; turns out we had a mutual friend the whole time, too.

hey dude, thanks for the note. can't wait to check it out--actually, i went on a binge earlier this year and read like 5 novels by eisler, funny coincidence. yes, would like to be involved--i'm basically trying to finish a book on deadline right now, but when i come up for air, we should talk about it. congrats about the skits--would love to hear about it.

Good to hear from you after all this time. I'm still down here in Dallas, and you're always more than welcome to come down - in fact you'll get a hero's welcome from my Vietnam vet uncle and various other liberal relatives I've got down here. Also, are you back in Vermont these days? And what are you working on? Project PM has really taken off ahead of our formal launch next year; we've got tons of new people, including a large number of prominent scientist, plus a former CIA Special Operations agent named Barry Eisler who writes thriller novels and who's actually about to start blogging at The League. The software is now being written as I've also brought on programmers. We have online meetings on our IRC channel every Wednesday evening at 7 pm EST if you'd ever like to check in on what we're up to. Meanwhile, I'm doing skits and a film treatment for a producer out in LA who works with Will Ferrell/Adam McKay's production company, served as advisor to a congressional candidate in last election cycle, and a bunch of other stuff. If you ever want to collaborate or otherwise get involved in some new projects, let me know, because we've got tons of shit going on these days.

Hilarity! I can confirm, for the record, that we are in fact colleagues, and, dare I say it, friends.

Talk to you soon--we should actually hang out together sooner than later, if we can manage to get in the same city.

What are you up to these days? Thought I'd send this along; the co-author of Going Rogue has accused me of planning to launch a violent attack against the government and also of not really knowing you:
