High-Speed Rail: boon or boondoggle

June 20, 2011

Here’s a story I wrote for ZweigWhite on high-speed rail. Some see HSR as the future of transportation and one of the most important initiatives since the development of the federal highway system.

Make Me An Offer

May 10, 2011

I’m diverisfying my freelance writing business by becoming a dealer of valuable and desirable super-heavy-landscaping-mountains.

Meaghan Lloyd of Gehry Partners

January 4, 2011

Here’s a profile on her that I wrote. It’s not likely that you’ll find anyone writing profiles about me. Imagine getting your first paying gig as [...]

Santa, Please Run Over Mannheim Steamroller

Purchase Aimee Mann’s awesome “One More Drifter in the Snow” here. Christmas music is a lot like beer and pizza – some of it is transcendent and some if it is truly nauseating.
