I’m an Editor at Large for CNET News writing about Apple, Microsoft, virtual reality, video games, internet culture and parenting.

This site contains some of my best work covering companies such as Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Sony and Electronic Arts. I’ve also written some fun pieces along the way.
