Welcome to my online portfolio. If I've given you this address, I've probably been in
contact with you about freelance writing or joining your organization. If you've found
it on your own, you need to get out more. Really.
I'm a technology and business writer who has worked for some of the world's
best-known news organizations. Most recently. I've been E-Business Editor of
BusinessWeek and a senior writer at Bloomberg News. I've also written for The
Washington Post Magazine, Wired, The Chicago Tribune, digitalsouth magazine,
Baltimore, The Baltimore Sun and others.
I do a couple of things better than the average bear:
* I spot trends, and tell people what to do about them. I've had major magazines and
papers follow me on either their covers or page one, on topics from health care to
Internet stocks and buying diamonds. Plus my published stock portfolio has
quadrupled since 2002. (Oh, those conflict of interest policies! I didn't make a cent.)
Mike Moe's book gives a list of people to watch to find emerging growth companies.
I'm the only journalist; everyone else is a venture capitalist or fund manager. I'm
sure I'm the only non-millionaire too, he said ruefully.
* I write with a certain amount of voice and sass. If you need someone who will be
comfortable toggling back and forth between a traditional publication and the Net,
doing a column or a blog along with straighter stories, or just some nice magazine
work that doesn't sound like everyone else, I'm your guy. As you go through this
site, you'll see me turning that on and off depending on whether it's right for the
specific publication and the specific story. But it's always there if you need it.
The clips are organized under the categories on the left. Depending on which kind
of work we're talking about having me do for you, you can see the kind of stuff I've
done, most of which is pretty recent. No one would need to read it all, so graze
through the kind of stories your publication might want me to do. A number of
stories are in more than one category exactly because I don't expect any one reader
to devour the whole site. In a few cases, there's a little competitive analysis too...I'm
a pretty competitive guy.
Enjoy. And hire me soon.
* Dr. Byrne wrote this in response to written questions that asked, among other things, why he had turned
his fastest-growing division over to a twenty-something executive who had pleaded guilty to distributing
ecstasy. Shares of Overstock have fallen to $10 from $28 since, and Byrne has acknowledged being
under federal investigation.
