I write two times a week about technology, science, culture -- and how those three collide. Essays, deep links, and stuff too offbeat for my regular journalism. (I'm also a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, and a columnist for Wired and Smithsonian. My latest book is "Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World".
