Black Riders has been the digital extension of one particular analog human since 1995.

It has, over the years, existed as a company website, a personal website, a blog, a placeholder page, and a redirect. It has also, more broadly, been a pseudonym, a social media handle, and a brand.

It has always been a bit of a blank slate.

For most analog humans, this one particular analog human goes by the name Winston Pei. They also go by the name Pei Hsien Jen, written a few different ways. Some call them Winnie. A handful call him Dad.

But no matter by what name, or where you go along our timeline, Black Riders has always been about helping individuals and organizations (re)imagine, (re)design, and (re)invent themselves.

And that especially goes for Black Riders itself.

Here are some of the places where our one particular analog human currently drops the occasional pebble:

• Audreys Books

  • My Staff Picks

  • Winston’s Books on Books List

• Campus Saint-Jean, L’Université de l’Alberta

• Bruce Peel Special Collections

• The University of Alberta School of Library & Information Studies

• Library and Information Studies Students Association

• St. Stephen’s College

• The Korora Choir Association (formerly the Kokopelli Choir Association)

• NeWest Press

• The Butterflies & Aliens Library of Literary Eccentricities & Rarities

Black Riders recognizes and acknowledges that we are sustained by the land upon which we reside and work, and connected to one another through it... land that is the traditional and contemporary territory of many First Nations including the Nehiyaw, Niitsitapi, Nakota Sioux, Haudenosaunee, Denesuliné, Anishinaabe, Inuit, and Métis nations, land that we continue to share as part of Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Métis Nations of Alberta.
