peter bg shoemaker \\ a consulting futurist at pinyon partners, i'm based just outside of wdc. i work with governments, industry, and ngos to explore possibilities, leverage uncertainity, face risk head-on, and exploit emerging opportunities. in addition to futuring, I can be found at culture lust, where I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about those things we create to inform, inspire, and horrify each other, at society6, where a few recent pieces of artwork are available, and at 140,000 steps, where I blog infrequently about my attempts to run really, really long distances.

finding me \\ not hard. there are a half dozen good email addresses out there (try my first name dot my last name at gmail), including at least one where I receive encrypted messages. of course, like any denizen of the web you can find traces of me on twitter, a profile on LinkedIn, a small tuft of turf at the well (pbgs), and some home-steads on professional network sites. no facebook. no myspace. there is always google.
