Deconstructing Hair: Is the Personal Still Political?
Written in Feb. 2011. I was sitting in a Southern Baptist church in Virginia, singing the hymns I’ve known since childhood and getting the hairy eyeball from every suited and bespectacled deacon in the house.

Leo Laporte invited me to the drop-dead awesome This Week in Tech studios over the weekend to shoot episode #313 of TWiT. To say I had a blast would be a huge understatement.

Hours ago, I let y’all know I had put in my last day at Mashable. Not being one to waste time, I am now embarking on my first day of work at VentureBeat. It’s a smaller publication, but as partially noted in my post on leaving the Mash, I have for some time wanted to … Read more
