Earthquakes, apartments, and riot police

A few recent stories of mine found their way into publication:

I wrote about some scientists trying to find a way to predict earthquakes, for the Post section of Wired magazine’s May issue, online here.

For a recently-released paperback book, Before the Mortgage (a collection of essays centered around the various humorous travails of 20-something urban life), I wrote about my obsession with finding the perfect apartment deal on Craigslist. Thanks to everyone who came to the San Francisco reading, it was great fun. They have more coming up in New York and Providence.

Another essay of mine, about an experience I had a year and a half ago while reporting in Bangladesh, appeared in The New York Times’ Modern Love column a couple weeks ago, here’s a copy.
