     My co-founder at @spritelyinst (he's Executive Director, I'm CTO) now has an account on the fediverse: @frandallfarmer

     Randy also:

     - Co-invented JSON with Doug Crockford and Chip Morningstar
     - Co-founded the world's *first* major massively multiplayer game / virtual world: Lucasfilms Habitat on the Commodore-freaking-64! (Also the place where the technical term "avatar" came from (borrowed from Sanskrit by Chip, I think)) Watch this wild video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVpulhO3jyc
     - Co-runs the open source revival of the original Habitat: https://frandallfarmer.github.io/neohabitat-doc/docs/
     - Co-founded Electric Communities. Electric Communities Habitat is where the E programming language came from from which much of Spritely is based. Watch this hilarious but mind-bending video from p2p virtual worlds... in 1997!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNiePoNiyvE
     - The compression pass to my expansion pass of communication in the Spritely Networked Communities Institute. Any time things have gotten wordy, you can bet it's from me; any time they're terse and concise, you can bet it's from Randy. Usually we try to combine our skills.

     Welcome Randy!
