Onward And Upward - To The Verge

 

I know I haven't been very active here lately, but there's a good reason for that - I've been preparing for a move. Starting [Soon, 2011] I'll be writing on legal/tech issues for The Verge and I'm incredibly excited about that.

I think most would agree that This is my next set a high standard for technology-related journalism and content right out the gate earlier this year and I'm excited (perhaps I mentioned that) to have the opportunity to work with the great group of writers at the Verge. I've had the pleasure to get to know their legal guru, Nilay Patel, over the past several months and we share a common goal when confronting and writing about patents and other legal issues in tech: write clearly and accurately about what can be a convoluted subject, and don't feed the hype and fear that tends to follow these issues. 

There are so many interesting things happening at the juncture of technology and the law, so keep an eye out for the official Verge launch and I'll see you there!
