One day, my sock fetish was bound go public. And because of this Q&A from the great Wantist site, it now is. Wantist is one of those sites where you end up wanting almost everything – the list of product is so well curated. The folk who run it have great taste. Or at least […]

Three Years of Twitter
And in those three years, I’ve basically stopped watching television. Sure, a lot of things have happened, some of it huge, but in terms of my media consumption, I stopped watching television. I’m pretty sure Heroes was the last straw. The only things I watch on TV now are sports and, sometimes, major news events […]
Nice Essay on My Twitter Work
Sometimes the oddest thing comes across my Twitter stream. Like this essay. Thoughtful and well reasoned and well-done.
#WhyIWrite
There’s a meme going around Twitter today called #WhyIWrite. Search the hashtag and you’ll see thousands of writers of all stripes answering the question. (I learned of it from reading a tweet by Neil Gaiman.) It’s an odd question, to me at least, because no one really enjoys writing. If a writer tells you they […]

Making the World A (More) Beautiful Place
Did Steve Jobs change the world? Of course he did. As a dedicated Mac user my entire adult life, he certainly changed my life. And as someone typing this on a MacBook Pro, with my iPhone and iPad close by, yes, “I’m a Mac.” But his transformation of the world is about more than just […]
Books Love You
I can’t tell whether or not this is creepy. It’s a nice idea. I’m just not sure I want to watch the movie.
The Pressure to Post Stuff
One of the things about having a website and a section called a “blog” is the pressure to post. It’s a pressure that has a lot of bloggers posting way too much stuff, too frequently and so we now live in a world that adds as much information in two days as it took from […]
Five One Minute Films. Five 140-Character Stories
Two years ago, a one-minute film based on a Twister won the People’ Choice Award at Filminute, an online international film festival. This year, the organizers at filminute asked me to create tweets based on five films in the shortlist. Here are the results. I would strongly recommend heading over to filminute to take a […]
