ED IN ELECTRONIC HOUSE: In addition to regularly authoring articles for the "dead tree" version of Electronic House magazine, I write two online newsletters for the publication.

"Home Entertainment" is published every two weeks, to keep you up to date with the latest home electronics news, products and trends.

"Ideas For Every Room" is published monthly to point you toward the technologies, products and tips that can bring the electronic lifestyle to every room in your home.

Both newsletters can also be emailed straight to your computer's in-box, the moment they're published. Click here to subscribe.

ED IN BLOGCRITICS: I have a number of reviews and essays on the Blogcritics.org site, which debuted in late summer of 2002. Eric Olsen and Glenn Frazier each did a superb job of putting the site together, and I was very happy to help the get the site off to a very good start.

COMMUTER LANES RANT: Just added "I Really (HONK! HONK!) Hate (Get Out of the Way, you $&#*@!!) Commuter Lanes!", a "rant" I wrote for the last page of the Summer 2001 issue of Sport Z magazine. Normally, I tend to smoke a very, very mellow version of Tom Wolfe for my essays, but on this one, I combined it with a P.J. O'Rourke filter and a Joan Didion cigarette holder, with a pinch of Dennis Miller chewing tobacco. The result is a definite rage against bureaucracy (not to mention commuter lanes).

HOW THE WEB WAS WON: Just added an essay that I wrote in 1998 for an abortive book project. It's both a mini-history of the Internet, and my own introduction to computers in the mid-1970s. I'd like think my writing style has come along way since I wrote this, but in looking back on it, I was surprised at how blog-like the piece was, with long quotes from outside sources.
