About this Blog
I started this blog in 2007 as a space for sharing various ideas. I’ve covered all sorts of topics ranging from politics, to photography, my personal life, technology, music and social media. I have tightened the focus mostly to technology, music, photography and social media. If you are looking for my photography collection, please see my Flickr. All photos on my Flickr and content of this blog is Creative Commons 3.0 NC-BY-SA licensed. For a commercial thumbs up, please email me.
This blog runs Wordpress. I soon hope to write my own theme as I haven’t found an XHTML Strict valid theme that I find aesthetically pleasing yet. I host with Slicehost, which provides excellent VPS hosting at a reasonable price.
Who Am I?
My name is David Allen Fisher, but I often go by Tibbon online. I grew up mostly in North Carolina, then went to Berklee for Music Business Management. After Berklee I reentered the world of technology, and was one of the first members in betahouse, a Cambridge based technology co-working loft.
What I Do
I work with all things digital. Some of the nifty things that I’ve done in the past include social media consulting, record engineering, advertising operations, office management, photography, screencasting, and recently a bit of software development.
I’ve worked for some really cool companies including GamerDNA, Jazkarta and Taylor Barefoot Productions. For more details, check out my resume.
I am currently accepting consulting opportunities in social media/digital strategy, and Ruby/Rails software development. I am also available for speaking engagements. Prior speaking engagements include the following.
- Improving Audio for Podcasts, Podcamp Boston 3; July 2008
- Photography for the Blogger, Podcamp Pittsburgh 3, October 2008

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately working on improving my skills with Ruby, Sinatra, Ruby on Rails, XHTML, Javascript, Ajax, JQuery, Processing/Java and Arduino hacking.
What Drives Me
One of the greatest driving factors for me is the desire to do something different, cutting edge and new.
In the field of technology I enjoy Free and Open Source Software, Creative Commons and other alternative licensing methods, Ruby, Sinatra, Rails, Apple Computers, DIY electronics, Arduino, accessibility and alternative tactile interfaces.
In arts, I enjoy photography (digital and film), 20th century music, Max/MSP, Monome, DIY synths and circuitbending, vintage guitars, tube equipment, sound installations, LEDs, and Go.
In life, I enjoy a vegetarian lifestyle (excepting for Sushi), Sushi, thoughts about a Lotus Elise, indoor rock climbing, coffeeshops, tea and traveling.
Some of my goals in life include having a piece performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, an audio installation in the MoMA, having a low carbon footprint, running a successful startup, and starting a community DIY Workshop.

I am registered as Tibbon on most social networks, so I’m pretty easy to find. Below are links to my accounts at some of the major ones I frequent.
