About

Right Now:

I'm a web developer. Check out my portfolio and get in touch about projects.  

Previously:

Senior writer, Daily Dot. I wrote about our increasingly terrible online culture, which is increasingly becoming real life. 

Before That:

Worked on Following, a pop-up blog about life on the internet, for New York Magazine. It's now called Select All. 

Staff writer at Gawker, news editor at the Daily Dot, geek editor at The Daily What (R.I.P.), writer at Urlesque (R.I.P.), editor at Download Squad (also R.I.P.) and interviewer of interesting people for Suicide Girls and Geek Monthly.

For What It's Worth:

Some of my jokes have been published in a book of funny tweets. Gawker once called me one of the "Twelve People Actually Worth Following On Twitter."
