I’m a writer, editor, filmmaker, and web strategist exploring the intersections of technology, politics, and activism. I’m managing editor of Change.org, and have been a frequent commentator on the use of the web in the 2008 election via my previous job as associate editor of techPresident and Personal Democracy Forum. My analysis has been covered in the New York Times, Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Salon, NPR, ABC News,  AOL Politics, and XM Radio,  among others.

My creative projects include A Better World in Second Life?, a machinima documentary about political activism in Second Life and The Bronx Blog Project, a video and web project that examines the intersections of technology, immigration, and community by documenting immigrants in the Bronx as they learned how to blog.

I received an MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College, City University of New York.
