I'm a journalist based in Venice, California. This page is typically home to news, features and random concepts I find interesting around the Web. Sometimes there's a little self-promotion of my work at EW.com.
This blog also features images and ideas from my March 2009 trip cross-country from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles.

“My advice would be you’ve gotta make things. You’ve gotta build things. You can’t say, I’ve got a clip from my college newspaper. There’s gotta be a travelogue that you did with your pals from Bonnaroo. There’s gotta be an audio file that you made. I used to hire people all the time when I worked at weeklies, young people, and if they were coming now I would just say, well, show me what you’ve made with your own two dirty little hands. I don’t really care what you say, I want to see what you’ve done. It’s a time when you can make stuff so much more easily. Now, getting that stuff to rise above the clutter, and getting it seen is a battle, getting paid for it on top of it, yeah, that’s another battle.”
