- I'm a digital archivist at the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) in the Office of Strategic Initiatives at the Library of Congress and a doctoral student at GMU. I'm interested in online communities, digital history, and video games. I blog on this site, and at playthepast.org. Views expressed are not those of any current or former employer.

On typos
I blog because I want to. I don't get paid to do this. It isn't fancy like that. I am also not a particularly careful editor. I just wasn't wired that way. Every once and a while I get an email from someone who points out typos in my text. Sometimes they apologize for sending me those comments. I am always deeply grateful to them. If you see a typo, misspelling, or otherwise grammatically incorrect issue on my site and send me an email I will be thrilled. I will thank you. My email is trevor dot johnowens at gmail do com.
