I’m a journalist and critic with more than two decades of experience covering culture and technology. I’m currently head of publishing at Automattic, where I work with the publications Longreads and The Atavist.
My “professional” about page is on my other site, but that ignores most of what actually makes me. So here’s some of that stuff.
Things I know more about than the average person: crosswords, reggae, origami
Things I know (much) less about than the average person: Harry Potter
Things I enjoy despite not being very good at them: weightlifting, photography, trail running
The three books I enjoyed most over the past year:
Benjamin Labatut, The MANIAC
Richard Powers, The Overstory
Susannah Clarke, Piranesi
In general, I’m trying to learn how to think more clearly and to rework my creative process. Those feel like big things. Let’s see how it goes.
