Words, Words, Words
This, of course, is a line from Shakespeare, whom I used to hate (just
take a look at my last name and guess), but have gained respect for as
a result of Hamlet.
These words are my words, in columns in publications and elsewhere,
"full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." (Shakespeare) Most of these
pieces were written in college, but I have included a link to an online
newsletter I publish where some of my more recent writing has gone online.

"Just how I see it"
The column I write for the EC Update Digest always closes with this phrase,
hence the title - tagline really - of the column. This is my most recent
writing online, and best example of my current efforts.

University Journal
The UJ is the paper which I wrote for at UVa. In February 1996, a friend
(who happened to be the EiC) convinced me to become the Editorial Editor,
so I became the last full term Editorial Editor of the now-defunct University
Journal. It was a bunch o' fun and I'm sorry to have seen the paper go.

Classes -This one has special meaning to me.
It's my reccomendations for classes to take. This column caught the attention
of one of my professors, and on the strength of it, he and his publishers
asked me to write the student introduction to his How Things Work textbook.
If you use that book, you might recognize some of the section on How Things
Work in this column
