About Me

I got started in journalism as a contributor to MSNBC.com's social news site Newsvine. While writing there I scooped the AP on the April 16 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, covered the Democratic National Convention in 2008, and was named one of the Wall Street Journal's "Wizards of Buzz."

I live in South Western Virginia and, when I'm not tackling the political issues of the day, I develop websites to pay the bills.

 

Professional

My Current Project

I'm building a portfolio site for a few aspiring artists I know while developing a theory of social networking.

My Greatest Achievement

Personal

What I'm Currently Addicted To...

My Droid, Google Voice, and Newsvine.

This Is Annoying Me...

Republican obstructionism isn't the same thing as governing. I'd feel better with a Senate that's actually capable of getting something done.

This Is Making Me Worry...

I'm a victim of the new economy... so if anyone is looking for a telecommuting web developer I'd love a job.

This Is Bringing Me Joy...

Watching the GOP implode

Can't Do Without

An internet connection... why is why I got a Droid
