Herein lie the finely curated monologues of Lincoln Russell, victim of a long series of happy accidents that led to a career as a Web engineering, product, and community leader.
He lives in a historic home in Detroit with his husband Aaron and has practiced martial arts since 2007. On the Web, he makes Nitro Porter, helps with Agorakit, supports Flarum, keeps NewBuddhist running, and is a trustee of the Icrontic social club.
