My name is J.D. Talley and I’d like to welcome you to my website. I currently live in Washington, DC although I’m frequently on the road. Professionally, I help free-market think tanks use new media to spread their ideas. Otherwise I’m interested in culture jamming, freedom, popular culture and technology.
