Babies Make You Sad, and Other Bad News for New Parents
Some Big News (For Me)
I have some exciting news.
I’ve decided to accept a position as Writer-At-Large with the forthcoming Time Inc. online automotive publication The Drive. I will be covering the intersection of the automobile and contemporary culture, focusing on art, architecture, books, design, and my usual celebrity nonsense, as well as writing about incipient vehicular trends and the collectible car market, producing lengthy features, and doing the occasional new car review.
I’m sad to say goodbye to all of the wonderful automotive and mens magazines I’ve had the privilege of writing for, but am thrilled at this new opportunity, and excited to work with the stellar team being assembled. And you’ll still be able to find my work at luxury lifestyle publications like Vanity Fair, Departures, and Showboats International.
I look forward to continuing to plague you with my updates. Unsubscribe at any time.
