Who is Brandi Jasmine?

Truth in advertising: I never look like this - I had contacts and gobs of make-up on at the time (and the time was the late 90's).

I am a writer, content developer, illustrator and all-round Internet junkie. Since 1992, I have worked in the Internet industry as a content producer, editor, illustrator, photographer, writer, media relations consultant, astrologer, and web-usability consultant. Whew!

That's quite a list, and it's not even comprehensive. I've also worked on email newsletters, moderated discussion groups, wrote an ISP new-user guide, maintained an ISP's anti-spam efforts, ran a craft business, and developed documentation for an ISP association's regulatory and legal efforts.
