Campaign for Wool | Join The Campaign, Live Naturally & Choose Wool Moxie Marlinspike >> About This site is a partial collection of projects I've worked on, stories I've written down, and software I've published. In the past, I've worked as a software engineer, hacker, sailor, captain, and shipwright. I used to travel a lot; I've hopped freight trains across the US from coast-to-coast a bunch of times, have gotten some really great and some really terrible rides hitchhiking all across America, and have sailed a few near-derelict sailboats as far as I could take them. I currently live in San Francisco. I like computer security and software development, particularly in the areas of secure protocols, cryptography, privacy, and anonymity. I like sailing, have a Master's mariner license, and used to do yacht deliveries world-wide.
