About Joe Cascio

avatar Barking Crab 2566874167_1e850ecfed_oI’m an independent software developer from Stonington, Connecticut, that has turned into something of a social media enthusiast (junkie?). I videoblog at Joe’s Video, etc., and am one of six regulars on the podcast PushMyFollow which discusses (trashes, dishes, spreads rumors and inuuendo) about social media topics.

In the past, I developed an experimental social media identity site called SociaLogic.org, which investigated unifying one’s various social media identities and relationships under one umbrella identity, and being able to compare them with others’.  I also did some work in Distributed Microblogging (i.e., Twitter) and the OpenStack concept for user-centric social media protocols.

In the course of looking into real estate as a possible market for software development, I met Dana at REBarCamp Boston and was impressed with her ability to make gorgeous photographs. I also love to eat, and so was doubly impressed by Dana’s ability to actually make the food she so lavishly photographed.  After returning to our respective homes after REBarCamp we continued to chat on Twitter about how much fun it would be to devote more of our time to our avocation, food, than to our day jobs. Then one summer day, we decided to just go for it. MDM combines Dana’s qualities of domain expertise in food, inns and photography with my experience in software, blogging, videoblogging, social media consciousness and connectedness.

and a number of other places I probably tried and forgot about.

Demographically, I’m a Baby Boomer, which makes me older than probably at least 95% of people I meet on the Internet. But having been a software developer all my life, I don’t feel as technologically challenged or fearful as many of my cohort are about social networking and the internet in general.

I’m also a “dog person”, an unapologetic golf addict, a member of this club, and realized a career long dream in August of 2007.
