Dorky confession: Every time I think of something I will do when I finish writing this book, I add it to a ‘note’ I’ve got going on my iPhone. Most of the things I’ve missed this year are humble. I miss reading things that aren’t related to my topic. Oppressive lockdown from fiction! l miss [...]
I’m excited to have my first piece in Scientific American Mind. “Hyper One Day, Gone The Next: Changes in ADHD,” which touches on the work of scientists at Columbia studying the persistence of the ADHD phenotype from year to year in the same individuals, can be found in the March issue. The researchers studied a [...]
Happy December! We all have a month of office holiday parties, etc., to look forward to before starting to think about New Year’s, but in case you’re already eager to put 2010 to bed, I do have a little “How Did You Get That F&%*ing Awesome Job” interview with Lori Raimondo of the Times Square [...]

It’s all online; my bits include: + How to Throw a Block Party + How to Meet Your Neighbors (Without Seeming Like a Crazy Person) + How to Get a Billboard Taken Down [...]
Four authors from GOOD and three from ReadyMade, of whom I am one, have teamed up to write a special section in GOOD’s Winter 2010 issue. The GOOD (and ReadyMade) Guide to Slowing Down is online now, and if I say so myself, it’s a fun read.
My essay, “Scattershot, Desperate and Sleazy,” is up now at the n+1 website. It’s about everyone’s favorite topic, online dating, and was originally written for, and read at, the Spring 2009 installment of the Brooklyn Rail‘s Rant Rhapsody reading series. If you read it, let me know what you think. Update: It got published in [...]
