Peter Costantini was born in the Bronx a long time ago and has yet to recover. He lives in Seattle and thinks a lot about remodeling his basement and garage. Occasionally he actually does something about it. In his dotage, he has become an animist, worshipping Spike, his deceased feline companion of 18 years, as his household god.

In his spare time, he writes about Latin America, international labor issues, and the social implications of technology for MSNBC News, magazines, weekly and daily papers, and Inter Press Service, an international newswire based in Rome.
