Journalism

Since starting my sideline in journalism I’ve written everything from conflict-zone reportage (a regularly mortared airbase in Iraq, a cocaine lab deep in the Colombian jungle, a Doctors Without Borders mission in Port-au-Prince’s slums, a journey outside the peacekeeper perimeter in eastern Congo) to tech-industry analysis in the style of Dr. Seuss. These days I mostly write about AI.

Magazine feature writer

Occasionally I write for real physical magazines. Quaint, I know.

TechCrunch columnist

I spent a decade as TechCrunch’s weekly columnist, and in that time failed to file exactly once. (I was sick. I still feel guilty.)
