The DePo Skinny theme for WordPress is a variation on my original DePo Clean theme, developed by myself and my lovely wife for her new site. We thought we’d make it available to you, too!
It’s a super-simple theme with only one 500-pixel-wide column. It accommodates categories and tags easily. Like DePo Clean, it has a […]
Introducing The Magazineer, a blog for people who make and love magazines.
So I’m back. Why? A few reasons.
I’ve got a few posts percolating in me and I need a place to put them. I’ve got some block about putting them up at Vox. I think it’s because of the ads. If my words are going to earn a CPC, I want it to be on my […]

Seven months ago, when I told my friends and family that I’d taken a job at Technorati, they all had one thing to say to me.
Cool! But, um, what do they do?
These people weren’t rubes. My tribe are some geeky folks. Bigtime bloggers, hardcore nerds, and computer-enabled professionals all asked me this. And translated through […]
