…ning I visit about fifty news sites and from that swirling nightmare of information quicksand, I pluck the top ten most fascinating items of the day, which I deliver with a fast, pithy wit that will make your computer device vibrate with delight.

I’ve been writing and working on the web for years (a lot of years). My longform essays have been syndicated on NPR, Gizmodo, Forbes and Huffington Post, and the reaction to my average Tweet is not unlike the one the Beatles got during their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

My custom WordPress installation was masterfully coded by Andrew Norcross of Reaktiv Studios and the design of the blog and iOS app is from the supremely talented Bryan Bell. Chris Morris coded the iOS app, and the Brian Moco designed my head logo.

The site is generously brought to you by the most excellent folks at WordPress.com. They keep it free for you, and free from any intrusive ads. Special thanks to Matt Mullenweg and Raanan Bar-Cohen, and all the helpful folks at WordPressVIP.
