I wrote a Netsurf item on This Modern World (when someone else was maintaining it) in Wired 3.01 (it is the sixth item down)
Basement Books Netsurf item in Wired 2.10 (the third item down). Basement Full of Books (like all of things I wrote about for Netsurf) has moved. It was started by Vonda McIntyre (who won the 1997 Nebula award).
Netsurf items on Noam Chomsky and Aaron Barnhart's Late Show News in Wired 2.12 (the third from last item and the last one).
No room at the bin - an interview with me in Salon on my experiences selling software at Virgin Megastore. I actually wanted Scott to use my name, but it was a good thing he didn't. A Virgin employee in LA was fired for talking to Multimedia Retailer News. I also talked to the reporter (she quoted me even though I told her to interview my boss) and when I was brought in to be reprimanded, I thought they had discovered this piece. Luckily, my boss supported me since I didn't agree to be quoted on the record.

I contribute regularly to TVBarn. I have a weblog, Tiger Beat (older entries), which I don't update as often as I should. I also contributed briefly to Rewired: Blog of a Strained Net. I wrote most of sfblog, the Bay Guardian's weblog when I was working there. I also have three photo/moblogs, one personal (though it had a lot of political stuff early on) Tigerbeat, another political, and a third on film. More photos on flickr.

Here is a list (the links don't currently work) of some of the items I've written for Justin Hall's zine, bud.com.
