Welcome. This is a new site, which so far only has some links and a few notes on what I'm currently doing.  More to come soon...

I'm a journalist and lawyer by training, an entrepeneur and activist by habit.  A more formal bio is here.

I've most recently been focused on GreenOrder, a company I founded in 2000 that helps large enterprises improve sustainability while meeting their business objectives.

I've spent a lot of the last decade thinking about technology's impact on society. That's the topic of my book The Control Revolution, and of much of what I've written for magazines.  I've also taught courses in this area as an adjunct law professor - at Yale and Columbia.

I recently published a short comment on Eldred v. Ashcroft, an important Supreme Court copyright case.

My first book, We're Number One!, looked at the U.S.'s stature in the world. I've circled back to this recently for a seminar on globalization I'm leading at the Aspen Institute.

I'm working on a new TV interview show about innovation, which builds on a show I hosted last year on a local PBS affiliate.

Other recent fun: Serving on the board of a great organization called the Southern Center for Human Rights, advising Meetup, and being involved in Reboot, a network for Jewish innovation.

The most important news in my life recently: my wife and I had a baby girl in March 2002. Nothing compares!
