My name is JR Raphael. (But you can just call me JR Raphael.) I am a writer as well as a mammal. I’m the guy behind Android Intelligence and also the guy behind a suspiciously shiny computer screen. I write humor-infused feature stories for a variety of publications and drink fruit-infused beverages from a variety of glasses. At night, I sleep.
