Hey there!
I’m Michael Webber, a technology enthusiast, recreational runner, and community media professional.
Nonprofit Management | Video Production Engineer | Community Media | Live Stream & A/V Consultant | Problem Solver
Professional Background
For over two decades, I have served as the Executive Director for a non-profit community media center in Massachusetts. My work focuses on public, educational, and government (PEG) access television. I specialize in live streaming architecture and video production workflow design.
Academic & Mentorship
Beyond management, I spent nearly twenty years as an Adjunct Instructor at a local college. A role that allowed me to share my passion for media production with the next generation of creators.
Community & Personal Projects
I’ve been involved in Scouting America for many years, serving as a Cubmaster and more recently as a Committee Chair for a local Scouts BSA troop. My sons came up through the program and both earned Eagle Scout. They remain very active in Scouting through the Order of the Arrow (Scout’s National Honor Society), serving in various leadership roles.
Running is the thing I keep coming back to, and the thing I keep falling out of. I have had good stretches where the habit held, and long stretches where it did not, and a fair amount of this site is me working my way back. Cycling started with my wife during COVID, long weekend rides when there was not much else to do, and it never stopped. We are still at it, and recently put together a 300 mile month.
Our family runs a synchronized holiday light show, which started as a project with my son. He is off at college now and runs most of the tech side on his own; these days I’m mostly in a support role, with a lot of soldering and an extra set of hands when he needs them.
Beyond that, there are always a few other projects competing for the leftover hours. They keep me busy, and that is probably the point.
What You’ll Find Here
This website is a personal space for my musings on tech, running, and the complexities of life. Most of what I write falls into three lanes:
The Station. Community media, from one executive director’s desk: the technical side, the projects, the public policy fights, and the everyday work of running a small media center. My own musings, not my station’s.
The Road. Running, mostly along the Blackstone River, in all seasons and in various states of fitness. The road is where I think, and where my body keeps its honest ledger.
Field Notes. Everything else, noted as it happens. Places, home projects, family, and the observations that do not belong anywhere else. If a post does not fit The Station or The Road, it lands here.
