writer

I am a contributing editor for Wired Magazine. I write for Popular Science. I write for Scientific American. I write for the New York Times Circuits section. I write for New York magazine. I have actually gotten rejection notices from The New Yorker. I am a regular blogger at Worldchanging New York and an itinerant blogger at Worldchanging Global. I have a regular science segment on Monday mornings on WFUV-FM (90.7 in New York). I am available to speak in any medium or forum, on just about any science or technology topic.

I used to work as an astrophysics lecturer at the American Museum of Natural History. Yes, I have spent many nights at the museum. Yes, certain exhibits in the museum come to life at night. Email me to find out which.

I have worked as a robot programmer for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. I have lost $500,000 in US currency. I have done standup comedy. I have walked on the outside ledge of the 72nd floor of the Empire State Building for a radio story. I have designed experiments that have flown on the Space Shuttle.

I grew up in a haunted house in Yonkers, NY. I was the Son of Sam`s paper boy for a few weeks in the summer of 1977. I also singlehandedly caused the 1977 blackout. Write for details.

I am such a nerd that I used to be president of my local astronomy club. I make LED sculptures. I have developed a method of digital rotoscoping (check out my videos).

I have squirted Ron Howard in the face with a water gun. I told Sigourney Weaver`s daughter (in front of her) that there are no such things as space aliens. I have explained meteorites to David Byrne. I have had Wolf Blitzer steal pizza from me. I saw Bill Clinton drop off his girlfriend on Houston Street. I shared a buffet with Al Gore.
