Everyone out of the pool. Barbie has a blog.
Tuesday, November 26th, 2002Barbie: My Blog
Via Doc Searls, who’s being nice to me even though I dinged GeekPAC yesterday.
More importantly, SomaFM is back on the air, thanks in part to Jesse Helms.

I write for ... The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
Slate (Washington Post Co.)
Valleywag (Gawker Media)
Wired magazine
Editors and Producers... Yes, I do national radio and print gladly with no advance notice. Drop me a line.
Why I do this... I like to write. I like to entertain people. I'm a wannabe gag writer who grew up reading 1960's Mad, 70's National Lampoon and 80's Spy. For some reason, I get paid to write about online shopping instead.
Where I live... San Francisco, California, atop Pacific Heights. I'm just down the block from Danielle Steel. You think I'm prolific? She's on her 70th novel.
Bio... I went to MIT. I didn't graduate. I grew up in working-class Maine, but live in upper-class San Francisco. 20 years of information technology experience and an overlapping 12 years writing for national publications. This explains everything about me you need to know.
Because it's an election year... I'm a registered Republican and a libertarian. No idea who I want for President. I'm all for universal health care—you would be too if you were a 46-year-old freelance writer. Wow, posting about politics makes me sleepy.
My lovely wife...

I married her for her 1963 Avanti.
