Chad Swaney, DPJ's Insecure Critic, describes himself as the human equivalent of Burton Barr Central Library. He's contemporary, but likes to be situated among the timeless. He's a bit too ambitious and probably spends too much time thinking instead of being practical. Like the library, he tends to attract the homeless. Chad is currently a doctoral student at Pepperdine University, studying social technology and learning. He spends his free time writing, but rarely sending, provocative tweets, and organizing the weekly Downtown Friday Nights (#dtfn) events. He can often be spotted at The Lost Leaf discussing anarcho-capitalist political philosophy, or at Lux frantically writing a paper about situated learning in a community of practice.
