- Bio
- Writer, editor, columnist, producer, parent, activist, former elected official and lifelong Deadhead.
I mainly write about politics, pop culture & tech, but my dream is to work with David Simon on any of his projects.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this blog, so if you know him please have his people get with my people.
Oh yeah - and I've got a killer memoir inside of me that's gonna win a pulitzer prize someday.

How Does Adsense Make Cents?
We've entered a new world.
CTR...CPM...Page Impressions....Analytics. If you don't know what those are, then you don't know shit!

Put This Guy On a Pedestal?
I'm reluctant to post another word about Fathers or Father's Day. But I'm tormented.
My twins, now 22, haven't had a father since just after their first birthday.
That's when he went ballistic and threw us out of the little room we were staying in - attached to a friend's house… Read full post »
Jon & Kate + 16 and One Crazy Bitch

Goodbye UM, Hello Rest of Your Life

Airlines have been using the acronym for years, divorced parents are painfully familiar with it, and in just the past week there were two alarming media headlines about UMs being delivered to the wrong airports by mistake.

A Poem For Chicago Guy
Chicago Guy tapped into something I mentioned in my post the other day- Earth to Barack: Stop Eating So Many Hamburgers
He wrote: "Wait a minute. . . Barack's dining habits are news and everything---But I want to hear the story about how you found yourself sitting in Abbie Hoffman's a… Read full post »
Earth to Barack: stop eating so many hamburgers!
I love you Barack and I'm not the preachy type. I don't get off on telling people what to do. I learned my lesson the hard way back in 1986 in New York City. I was sitting in Abbie Hoffman's apartment and noticing he was suffering from a head cold,

Michael Franti and Yoga means Wanderlust!
A few years ago Michael Franti and a few of his band members came to my house to take a shower and relax after a show at Truckee Amphitheater.
