I’m Ben Dunkle. I go by @empireoflight on Twitter and WordPress.org. I’m @dmaprof on Instagram.
I’m a professor in the Digital Media Arts program at Canisius University. When I’m not teaching, I contribute to WordPress, make plugins, organize community events centered around WordPress, make art, fonts, icons, and WordPress plugins. I build websites and other stuff as Field 2 Design.
Occasionally, I post content here. Please bookmark and/or check my site regularly for updates!
