About Jerry Brito

Jerry Brito is a D.C. lawyer and academic with apparently a lot of time on his hands. Jerry loves Macs and the web almost as much as he likes to eat, so this is his chance to forge a wonderful combination---like bacon and chocolate. He's the dude behind Unclutterer, Paperclippy, and a bunch of other sites. If something breaks, it's probably his fault. His personal website is jerrybrito.com.
