Small signs and omens

As a cultural anthropologist, I am putting my money where my mouth is to draw inferences and make predictions about larger contemporary social, technological, and economic realities. This blog is a production of Indicia Consulting (www.indiciaconsulting.com). Indicia, which means small markings and hidden signs, is my full-service ethnographic marketing firm. The ideas in this blog are intended to expand upon and complement the offerings of Indicia Consulting.
