Why does a blog about culture, technology and the Wired world have a name like this?
Part of the explanation is fairly obvious. I live in a world of screens: on LCDs, smartphones, TVs, iPods, and GPS devices. But above all, computer screens. I stare at one all day (several, actually) and part of the night. The Wired world lives in screens.
But there's a personal connection, too. As a kid, I watched more TV than anyone on the planet. Later I was movie mad. I saw everything. (Yes, mad. I saw Dirty Dozen at the Colony Theater in White Plains seven times during its first run, and I had to take a bus to get there each time.) After college, I worked as a film editor and made documentaries. I moved to L.A. and wrote screenplays. And with some of the money from the sale of my first feature script, I bought a first generation Mac. One screen leads to another.
