A friend of mine describes himself as a "media hacker." I guess that describes me, also. I am a publisher of magazines and wide array of online media. At Hammock Publishing, we work with corporate, institutional and association clients in creating and managing magazines, newsletters -- print and email, and online media. We're also the folks behind the popular wiki for small business owners and managers, SmallBusiness.com. Some people know me for my weblog, rexblog.com, where I observe the cross-currents of media and technology -- and bluegrass music.

SmallBusiness.com was re-launched as a wiki-resource for small business owners and managers in 2006. This refers to the period between 1999-2001 when the website was owned and operated as an independent company. During smallbusiness.com 1.0, I developed an innovative community-oriented website and knowledge-sharing web platform for small business owners.
