When Erin is not working in his 9-5 capacity as as Partner Technology Manager at Google, he may be doing one or more of the following things (occasionally at the same time): raising his 8 and 6 year old with his wife in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; creating absurdist edge-case business models as the sole proprietor of Happitec, LLC; proposing new classes to teach at NYU or Cooper Union; internet-enabling things that should not be internet-enabled with his brother.

While his decades in various forms of design and technology leadership are surpassed only by the age of his LambdaMoo character (who celebrated its 30th birthday this year), Erin's biggest race against time is a challenge set almost a decade ago: convince his children to care about their domain names, registered on the day they were born, before the 10-year renewal comes to pass.
