Freelance journalism & literary miscellanea
Welcome to the site where I hang out my digital shingle.
I'm a New York-based staffer at Fortune Small Business magazine, where I edit the website. En route to my current job, I stopped at several other magazines and newspapers. One or two are still in business. I'm told you're not a veteran journalist until you've bankrupted a dozen publications. (My relatively complete journalism-job rundown lives at LinkedIn.)
After a decade in the tech trenches, I'm now writing primarily about startups and entrepreneurs. I still take breaks to freelance on tech topics, though, as well as more varied subjects -- books, food, travel, and urban oddities like forgotten subways and telepresence bars.
And, of course, I also have a blog. It covers personal-finance issues, and lives at BirdsandBills.com.
Google News offers a fairly comprehensive look at my recent writing. (Now that I'm editing, there isn't nearly as much of it as there used to be back in my daily-beat-writer days.) For a more selective culling, see the links at right.
