    <p>I am currently in the process of setting up a new personal website <a href="https://davidrambo.org">here</a> and won't be updating this one as of January 2020.</p>

    <p>David Rambo is currently a research associate at Duke University with the Program in Literature, where he earned a PhD in 2018. His research and teaching span contemporary fiction and media, the philosophy of technology, process philosophy, and phenomenology. Rambo's essays have been published in <i>Process Studies</i>, <i>Angelaki</i>, <i>hyperrhiz</i>, and <i>Post-Cinema: Theorizing 21st-Century Film</i> (REFRAME 2016). His current book project, <i>Inventing Media</i>, argues that technics ought to be understood primarily as inventing new worlds and secondarily as technical objects and prostheses.</p>

    <p>David also enjoys tinkering and making things, which has entered into his work at the humanities lab <a href="https://s-1lab.org" alt="S-1: Speculative Sensation">S-1: Speculative Sensation</a> as well as in his research on media aesthetics and technoculture. You can see his QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) code on GitHub for a few ortholinear keyboards: keeb.io's <a href="https://github.com/DavidRambo/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/keebio/iris/keymaps/davidrambo" target="_blank" alt="Iris QMK">Iris</a>, OLKB's <a href="https://github.com/DavidRambo/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/planck/keymaps/davidrambo" target="_blank" alt="Planck QMK">Planck</a>, and the <a href="https://github.com/DavidRambo/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/xd75/keymaps/davidrambo" target="_blank" alt="XD75 QMK">XD75</a>.</p>
