ilene’s Machine was born in 2000 when I realized everything I did involved some kind of machine. My answering machine came first, a Vic 20 second, the Macintosh 128 next, and a variety of Macintosh computers over the years. Next came a Motorola phone, an iPhone, iPad, and a few cameras into the mix. So, you have reached ilene’s Machine, please leave a message!
Ilene’s Machine is a small consulting firm that provides Macintosh, marketing, and editorial services to small businesses. I am also a sports and wildlife photographer. As one of the early adopters, my work experiences span across the Internet . If you are interested in learning more about my expertise and experiences, please read my LinkedIn profile.
You can purchase a selection of my wildlife photography on a variety of products and prints on Fine Art America, https://ilenehoffman.pixels.com. You can see more of my photos on Instagram, TikTok, Behance, and YouTube.
My original site http://www.ilenesmachine.com is offline, but I hope to have it back up soon as an archive. I was the perpetrator of the distinguished Robert Hess Memorial Macworld/iWorld Events Site, a page that was updated yearly with each new show, until IDG killed the show in 2014. (http://www.ilenesmachine.com/partylist.shtml).
I’ve participated in a number of Internet communities over the years and have sadly watched companies decimate them over and over again (AOL, CompuServe, eWorld, Talk City, Macworld Expo, Twitter, and Clubhouse, to name a few). Only LinkedIn and Facebook have persevered. Thank you to them and shame on the others for not regarding the affect taking down the services had on their users!
Thanks for reading!
