Who is this creature called "Marian"?
She is a creature who believes in these things; and works for -- and with -- these goals and organizations:

Open Communications to support and accomplish these beliefs and goals.

       Websites, email systems, print media, telephones, meetings and good old back-fence and coffee-shop chat are the ways folks get information exchanges, and plan to get things done.
       My computer skills (programming since the '60's, but today, modest ones) led me to be an early advocate of the internet, creating websites for my interests and issues, including election campaigns.
       In 1997 (a few short years ago), I was the first local candidate for elective office in Whatcom County to have a campaign website (how the world has changed!)
       Over the years since then, I have set up (or manage) numerous civic action websites and email discussion lists.
       Websites of note which I manage: NoneOfTheThree (you are here) .|. NoLeakyBuckets .|. LakeWhatcom .|. PFLW .|. 40th LD Dems .|. DudleyFdn .|.
CameraOdyssey (now In Memoriam)
       Websites of note which I originated, but no longer manage: LWVwa/Bellingham .|. Dazzle.org .|. GASP (se2-gasp.org - We Won) .|.

       Public discussion groups which I manage: LakeWhatcom-List .|. WhatcomFairVoting .|. SARA_and_CARL - LWVUS .|. (and a number of private lists.)

      My favorite internet utility programs (for PC's) are:

Web-Browser: Opera (free)
Email Client: Eudora (free to about $30 for fullfeatures)
Anti-Virus: AVG by GriSoft (free)
Webpage Editing: CuteHTML (about $30)
Website FTP uploading: WS_FTP (free - EXE file download here)
Graphic image management: IrfanView (free)
The Google Earth program How to share location-view files
I collected a lot of books over the years. See my Book-lists

      I am a member of the Board of The Whatcom Watch, though not the webmaster, and (was) a strong supporter of The Grassroots News, while it existed, now just a newsletter of the local Dems.
      The website ("blog") NW Citizen.us works to tell the community what's really going on in politics.

      I also use the telephone and meet with live people.

And I've been some interesting "places" in my life: -----
