I write for Gawker, live in Berkeley and perpetually wish I was in France.

My other sites:

  • Gawker, where I cover the Valleywag tech beat. Previously, I was the night editor. (Here's just my posts.)
  • The Hack, my technical blog. It used to be kinda promising but now I mostly just whine about consumer IT and other people's software.
  • SF Pipeline, my real estate development site, under development. (One of many ways newspapers could monetize local news, if they were creative. Think of it as a potential Craigslist for commercial real estate.)
  • Covers, my blog on the business of restaurants and hotels, on hiatus.

Here’s why sans serif fonts tend to suck for body copy: The name written above looks like “Chris Aheam.” Which is what I originally called him on Gawker. Turns out it’s Chris Ahearn, A-h-e-a-r-n. Sorry, Chris. Maybe have your Web designers specify a different byline font.
