I knew my philosophy degree was a good bet

I'm Andrew. I write things. I edit things. I get paid to do this.

I'm a long-time technology and business writer -- I wrote about the Internet before there was a World Wide Web, and about computers when a 286 was fast. I've also written about insurance, financial services, real estate, taxes, and a lot more.

I mock everything. I take few things seriously. Apparently this makes me a bad person.
