I had almost forgotten about this and I’m glad it was brought to my attention. Last fall, Rahul Khanna, someone I’ve never met but have “met” on Twitter, suggested we collaborate on a story on Twitter, a kind of international “twistoff” (I can’t remember who came up with that but like everything else on Twitter, […]

“His tweets cannot possibly work as stories”
Or so says this review in some new online magazine about “underground Canadian art.” And it’s named after a fish. I wish them well.
The Casual (but awesome) Mention in the New Yorker
I met Blake Eskin last year during a convention in Minneapolis. His talk was about how he puts the New Yorker’s website together, about real time reporting, stuff like that. I wanted to meet him. And then he came up to me and told me he loved my Twitter feed. Well, I was a bit […]
One of Paste Magazine’s 100 Best Twitter Accounts

No One Will Ever Say Nicer Things About Me
A new piece, calling me all sorts of good things. It’s not often that a piece makes me blush. If, you know, you could see a brown guy blush. And yes. I really do believe Touch of Evil is the best movie of all time. Nothing has come close. Ever. This is the famous opening […]
Short Stories for All!
Every once in a while I’m going to put a short story up here. This one, which I wrote over a year ago, was supposed to be published in a few places and nothing ever happened and I got tired of waiting to share it with everyone. So here it is. I first read it […]
