Watching bears (on tape) catch salmon while we catch dinner.

Hi, I'm Mark

My real name is Mark McFate. Summitt Dweller was originally my Geocaching.com player name, and it still is, but I've applied it to a number of other pursuits over the years. So, welcome to my personal blog. FYI: I also have a "professional" blog at https://static.grinnell.edu/dlad-blog for all things related to my "real" work at Grinnell College, where I've been the 'Digital Library Applications Developer' since September 2012.
