My writing on culture, science and technology has been published widely, including The New York Times, Slate, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, Wired, New York Observer, Elle and Salon.com. I've written on everything from bathroom graffiti to evolutionary psychology, computer games to starchitects, and celebrity sex tapes to city planning. Here are some samples.

Regarding the Book
There have been questions.
Happily, we have answers.
UPDATE: "Announcing your plans is a good way to hear God laugh." A line from the wonderfully baroque dialogue of David Milch's Deadwood.

DOB: Three-Zero
And what was it I had to remember, the minute I woke up? I know there was something, something pretty terrible, too. Not just plain terrible. This was fancy terrible; this was terrible with raisins in it. Ah, yes, I have it. This is my birthday.
....
Your path stretches so smooth, so gracious. There are no more ways for you to make a fool of yourself; you have assembled the complete set. There are no more mistakes; you have made them all. There are, for you, only ease and fulfillment and tenderness. And you did not work to gain them. They are given to you as gifts for this, your happiest birthday.
- Dorothy Parker, "The Middle or Blue Period"
