I’m Joe Lazarus. My friends sometimes call me Laz. I live in Denver, CO. During the week, I work in marketing with Backflip Studios, makers of absurdly fun mobile games. This is my website. I post stuff here that I want to share with other people. You can reach me by email at Joe AT joelaz DOT com. Or, you can leave a comment. Or, you can go about your day. Your call.
