Tom Swiss? Well, he's just this guy, you know? An author, lecturer, singer/songwriter/poet, karate student and teacher, shiatsu ("acupressure massage") therapist, and professional software geek...a dilettante, loudmouth, and jackanapes (look it up!). Links on the left to my various projects, click away for more information on whatever catches your eye.

"As you may know, I practice a profession for which there is no real name....It is my job to encourage you and empower you to think for yourself and to question authority."
-- Timothy Leary

Upcoming performances, appearances, and events:

• Free Spirit Gathering, June 11-16, 2013: Yes, I'm back. I'll be acting as overall "Master of Ceremonies" for the FSG this year, and possibly presenting some workshops. Details to follow. See the FSG website for more information.
• Starwood Festival, July 9-15, 2013: I will return to the Starwood Festival once again to present some workshops, topics TBA.

You can find me on various social media:

• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• MySpace (music page)
• MySpace (as a person)

(As you might guess, the MySpace pages aren't exactly maintained up-to-date.)

(Why "infamous tms" and "infamous.net"? Because since the early 1990s, my e-mail address has been <my initials>@<various places>; and before Facebook there was this thing called USENET where we used to argue all the time. So several people who met me in person after knowing me via USENET by my e-mail address said something like "Ah, you're the infamous tms.")

You can contact me here if you like. Or send me e-mail if you can figure out my address from the information above.

Thanks for visiting. Be excellent to each other.
