Austin Brown
Assistant Manager, Long Now Museum & Store
Austin joined the Foundation's staff in August 02007.
Upon completion of his BA in Sociology from New College of Florida and having spent his initial 22 years in that retired-est of states, he chose the Bay Area as the setting for living out his urban, progressive dreams. Run of the mill, familiarity-breeds-contempt style disaffection notwithstanding, Long Now and San Francisco have largely fit the bill. He works in the Museum & Store, on the Seminars, the Membership program and Long Bets. The inner- and inter-workings of things - especially brains, cities, evolution and computers - fascinate him. He is pleased by recursion.
