Here’s my / post (updated 5/25/24):

Hi! I’m Michael, but can frequently be found online as “djwudi”.

Grew up in , now exist just south of most of the time.

Currently work in as the Program Manager at Highline College.

I’m a / fan. is my home fandom, and I volunteer for @norwescon, a local regional fan-run con, and for @SeattleWorldcon2025 .

I read a lot of SF . Trek novels are my go-to “comfort food”. I’m slowly working my way through all the Best Novel winners, and every year read all of the nominees for the before the annual award ceremony at Norwescon.

Speaking of the Philip K. Dick Award and , as of (2023), I am the award ceremony coordinator for Norwescon. This means I oversee the award ceremony and work with nominated authors and their agents as we invite them to attend the ceremony.

I’m one of the many Seattleites who “used to be a ”. For me, it was about a decade in in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s, primarily at The Lost Abbey and Gig’s Music Theatre. Focused on alternative genres: goth/industrial/synth pop/ebm/techno/etc. These days I occasionally pop up on Twitch, and semi-regularly DJ the Thursday night dance at Norwescon.

Though recently more on the fringes, I try to be part of the (Seattle / ) community whenever possible. I used to be a regular at The Vogue (on 12th), and these days try to get out to the Mercury once every month or two.

/ user by choice, Windows user if paid.

Oh, and: 51, white, cis, male, statistically straight, healthy, white-collar employed, not rich but comfortably not poor, married, homeowner, neurotypical (as far as I know). In other words, living with a lot of that I try to be aware of and use for good.
