I write books and things and do tech stuff.

I’ve done journalism on on everything from fugitive dot-com millionaires to North Korean kidnapping hijinks to tragic Commodore 64 computer game geniuses. The publications I’ve written for have included the New York Observer, Salon.com, the London Guardian, The American Prospect, Wired, L’Ecran Fantastique, HQ and Radar. And I’ve shown up on the BBC, All Things Considered, On The Media, ABC’s “World News Tonight,” Canadian public radio, Rachel Maddow’s “Unfiltered,” and CSPAN.

During the blog revolution, I was featured on Voice of America as one of the new kids using their Web Logs to reveal Washington hijinks. I made front-page headlines after exposing a scandalous dinner party on Capitol Hill where a Republican donor dressed up like King George III. The New York Times devoted an editorial to the fallout from my scoop: “Lawmakers Scurry From The Light.”

The whole thing was pretty amazing.

Then I wrote a book and short film. Here’s a clip of me discussing the story with The Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead.

As longtime computer nerd dating back to the Zork/C-64 era, I also develop WordPress sites and design satirical interactive features, one of which has been written up by the Village Voice music critic. A site featuring my grandfather’s World War II letters was featured in an HBO campaign for The Pacific. I’ve also done work for ad firms, wineries and Google, and am available for consulting on your Web publishing and coding needs.

Thanks for dropping by. I’ll be adding more stuff soon.
