I was at Wired from 1993 to 1998, where I was an editor for the magazine and for Wired Books. I was the founding editor-in-chief of Wired Online. My latest book, Made By Hand: My Adventures in the World of Do-It-Yourself was published by Penguin Portfolio June 2010. I've written five other published books -- "The Happy Mutant Handbook: Mischievous Fun for Higher Primates," "Mad Professor: Concoct Extremely Weird Science Projects," "The World's Worst: A Guide to The Most Disgusting Hideous; Inept, and Dangerous People, Places, Aand Things Oon Earth," "The Computer: An Illustrated History," and "Rule the Web: How to Do Anything and Everything on the Internet -- Better, Faster, Easier." I've written for Wired, The New York Times Magazine, Business Week, Playboy, Popular Science, The Industry Standard, The Hollywood Reporter, Mondo 2000, Nick at Nite, Yahoo! Internet Life, One, LA Weekly, and Business 2.0. I've drawn illustrations for dozens of magazines and books and designed Billy Idol's "Cyberpunk" CD cover, video box, and print advertisements.
