dimFLASH: David Futrelle a r c h i v e
This page is no longer being updated.
Please go here for the current version of dimFLASH.A freelance writer living in Chicago, I write mostly about psychology, technology, money and culture (sometimes all at once). I was for a time a staff writer at Money magazine, where I wrote mostly about the intersection of money and psychology. Before that I wrote regularly for Upside magazine and Newsday.
Over the years, I've written for an assortment of other publications ranging from Salon.com
to the Wall Street Journal. (You'll find a more complete list here).
Below, selected pieces of mine available online. You might want to start with the asterisked ones.
