HUB Digital
Living
I was the Senior
Products Editor at HUB Digital Living magazine from September 2003 through
June 2004. This involved working with other writers, a lot of hands-on
product testing, and of course a bundle of writing. After June 2004, some
of my writing from the HUB vault appeared in later issues, as well as
some freelance work.

The Computer
Paper (selected)
I was with The Computer Paper for over five years, first as the Test Lab
Editor, then as Senior Products Editor. I did a lot of computer-centric
writing at the beginning, and more consumer-oriented writing near the
end. In September of 2003 The Computer Paper was transformed into HUB
Digital Living magazine, which was even more consumer-friendly.

Global
Hermit
Initially I thought I would be updating Globalhermit.com regularly with
my own writing, but as it turns out I was just too busy with my regular
work to want to come home and write a bunch more stuff for free. Here
are a few things I did before I came to that realization.

Village Voice
Music is one of my ongoing passions. Thanks to my ongoing freelance reviews
with All Media Guide, I was invited to participate in the Village Voice's
Pazz and Jop poll. I also managed to sneak in a full-length article.
