I’m Joe Lazarus. My friends sometimes call me Laz. I live in the Mission District of San Francisco. To pay the bills, I work in marketing for an ecommerce startup. 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.
