Introducing The Magazineer, a blog for people who make and love magazines.
I did a fun interview with Gayla Trail of You Grow Girl about my burgeoning orchid habit. Check it!
It was my pleasure to donate a few stories and photos to Ethan Bodnar’s printed retrospective of the most anticipated Apple product ever: iPhone: The Book. I got my copy a few days ago and it’s beautiful. It will serve as a fun reminder of the wild ride that was the iPhone launch.
In May I participated in AssignmentZero’s Interview Week. The stories have been making their way online at Wired.com this week, and today mine went up! Check it.
Exploring the Dark Side of Crowdsourcing
As the creator of Subvert and Profit, a site that makes a business out of gaming social media site Digg for paying advertisers, “Ragnar […]
Whoops, I did it again. I let a long-simmering annoyance with some quirk of current web design spill over into a rant that the kind folks at awesome web design rag A List Apart, enablers that they are, were kind enough to publish. Some will call it obvious, but if it was so obvious, it […]

My story of faith and doubt, Wrestling with an Angel, which originally appeared in Fray, has been republished this week in JewsWeek, a fine web magazine for the hip young Jew. Check it out!
And for anyone who missed the end of the story, yes, we were married, and every day I’m grateful.
Speaking of Heather, she’s […]
A couple bits of me out there in the ethernet….
The Campfire Makes a Comeback
A great story in SF Station by Nirmala Nataraj about the storytelling revival that’s been going on the last 30 years. In some ways, Fray is a rebellion against traditional, fictional storytelling, but I’m almost relieved the story didn’t get into that.

I’ve had the pleasure to contribute to two other sites recently, and it’s really so much more fun than talking to myself here.
