I’m the Web CMS evangelist for EidosMedia, a supplier of cross-media platforms for news organizations. My job includes helping newspapers with the technological and cultural changes needed for transforming newsrooms, and figuring out where journalism is going — and needs to go — as print papers become Web-first information networks. You can read my thoughts on this transformation at my blog Reinventing the Newsroom and my columns about sportswriting and new media at Indiana University’s National Sports Journalism Center.

I came to EidosMedia from The Wall Street Journal Online, where I was a columnist, editor and projects guy from 1995 through 2008. Which in Web years is basically forever — or at least long enough to accumulate more than 1,000 bylines and learn a heck of a lot (often the hard way) about how to translate print journalism to the Web.

In 2005 I became a baseball blogger, which brought me an entirely new set of readers and forced me to reconsider everything I thought I knew about writing and building an audience. The smartest move I ever made as a professional writer? It was to start a blog.

I write about technology, sports, online media, music, Star Wars and anything else that catches my interest. Writing is all I ever wanted to do; I’ve been lucky enough to get paid to do it. Thanks for visiting.
