Justin Skolnick lives and works in Chicago.

Though “works” may be taken in the non-literal sense, for now.

He brings many things to the table. Past and present student, thrice textbook slave, editor, writer, web developer: he has a few ideas. His preschool teacher said he is “his own man,” a gypsy automaton observed his “shrewd and clever mind,” and beautiful women have independently called him “adorable,” all true. He favors local business and agriculture, fuel economy, affordable housing, decaf, leisure, the liturgy, word-of-mouth, semantic markup, and layered PSDs. Once almost crushed by Ryne Sandberg fans, he later survived a sodden, train-bound mass from the Taste, and now savors the fevered, odorous, exoskeletal press of public transit in the morning rush, shot silent to the Loop—ah humanity! While he won’t relive the ’80s with you, he will play with your dog. Please divert him from his computer and direct mail@ this particular domain, with love.
