This is a tumblelog, an ad-hoc collage of my online goings-on and discoveries with occasional commentary. It is powered by Tumblr, a free, hosted web app that allows for amazing customization. For example, it allows me to pull in most of my content from other sources. Though I funnel them through a few different Pipes
I created the site to centralize my web presence, to tie together my personal and professional lives.
Please share any comments or advice you may have!

I have too many interests, but refuse to accept that as even being possible. Some might say that I am spread too thin, my knowledge broad, but far too shallow. I like to think I epitomize the liberal arts.
I was born in the Bay Area, moved to Philadelphia where my family lives (and my mom is a food writer), attended Beloit College in Wisconsin and have recently returned to the City of Brotherly Love.
I majored in literary studies, but have studied in disciplines as far-flung as Chinese Calligraphy, Cosmology, and Accoustics. I also helped run the college FM station. For more info, see Sam L Roth, the Academic.
I spent a semester studying literature in Budapest, Hungary, as well as personal trips to Paris, Madrid, Toledo, Prague, Vienna, and Amsterdam. A top priority in all of those places was the food I ate, which I eventually turned into an independent study. I have some professional experience in a kitchen, a keen interest in becoming a better chef, and am trying to integrate myself with the burgeoning Philly food scene. For more info, see Sam L Roth, the foodie.
Much of my time is spent tracking the increasing scale, complexity, and global saturation of the web, including the laws and technologies which define it. This has become a professional pursuit: I have held two internships specializing in web strategy, as well as taking on some freelance work in marketing, advertising, strategy, and development. I intend on using this blog to showcase future work and always keeping my resumé and my LinkedIn up to date. For more info, see Sam L Roth, the professional.
I live in Pennsport, Philadelphia with my delightful girlfriend Semper and our cat Spoon. She is an academic who makes really wonderful jewelry and crafty things.
