About
Hi.
I’m Jemaleddin Cole, but I go by “Jemal” for obvious reasons. I live in Baltimore, MD with my wonderful wife and spectacular son (my dazzling daughter is a grown lady with her own accomodations). Because my wife is an environmental economist, I think about incentives and worry about climate change. Because my son is autistic, I have a lot to say about fact-based treatments. Because my daughter is engaged to be married, I worry that my hair is going gray faster than I can pull it out. I was born in 1974 which makes me…29 years old.
In 2023 I retired from web development after nearly 30 years, and I'm now a part-time volunteer coordinator at the Book Thing. Most of my free time is spent riding my bike, researching how to get faster at riding my bike, and working on my bike. Beyond that, I still volunteer regularly with WACDTF and irregularly at Velocipede.
In my copious spare time, I maintain a tiny network of tiny sites:
- SewerSnitch
- Is Ron Paul a Racist?
- What She Really Said
- You Might Be a Racist
- Maybe Shut Up?
- Does Tenet Make Sense?
- Subjunctive Mood Music
And I host and help maintain a couple Wikis for podcasts I like:
I’m easy to contact - email jemal@jemal.co and I’ll get it. I’m on Mastodon and Bluesky if you want to read smaller chunks of what I have to say, and if you want to find me on any given social network, search for jemaleddin.
