Business before pleasure:
 my page at PublishersMarketplace.com
is the place to go for information about my working life in lexicography, lexical research, and other stuff I do for money. Haven't got any money? 
Come anyway, maybe we can do a deal.

Orin's online resume (or CV if you call it that)
provides a nongraphic version of the above.
If you want one you can print out, here's the MS Word version.

Are you looking for the presentation I gave at the DSNA conference in Bloomington (May 2009)? Here's the abstract, where you'll also find links to the presentation:

I'm the book review editor of Dictionaries, the journal of
the Dictionary Society of North America. If you wish to bring to my attention
a title for possible review in the journal please email me on this link.

I grew up in Creede, Colorado. Creede Magazine published my essay about that experience, "Being from Creede," in their Fall 2008 issue. You can read it here:
