Articles

This page presents a brief list of articles I've written; they aren't particularly representative of anything, and have been selected mostly because they ought to be available online. Over the years, I've written thousands of daily news pieces, more than 700 stories for TidBITS, probably 100 product reviews and tech features, edited hundreds of articles in fields ranging from Internet services to medieval European art to musical instrument repair, and ghost-written everything from Web sites and marketing materials to security audits, courtroom presentations, and television dramas. Oh—and one campaign slogan.
