NOVEMBER 2009 UPDATE

I write about Global Warming, Sustainable Food, Global Health and Education most days at Change.org, but as an Associate Editor, time is consumed by other things.

I’m still working on a piece about cloud computing quietly revolutionizing our digital lives. A piece about neocolonialists buying millions of hectares of land in the developing world to outsource food production will be published soon, as will a feature about my boring name.

PAST

I’ve meditated on the methods of a US Army commander who survives on one meal a day, been to New York and field tested dubstep in a storm, and pretended to know something productivity when in fact procrastination is my specialty.
