I write, edit and provide spiritual direction in New York. You can read my biweekly personal spirituality column, What Works, here. I’m Assistant Coordinator for the New York City Chapter of Contemplative Outreach. I’ve also been a political party leader, videographer, web developer, tech journalist, punk roadie, software designer, sheepherder, stockbroker and downtempo radio DJ. Follow Phil on Twitter here.
A number of these roles have in common the process of learning about stuff, figuring it out and then telling others what I know. But I also know that I can’t really figure things out. That process, though, of trying to understand, can at least be entertaining, if not more than that.
(For shameless self-promotion and action verbs, check out my non-linear resume, or email me for my regular-style resume.
Most of my 20 years of writing, if not lost, is in hard copy clippings, dozens of notebooks, part of a book, four computers, and various badly labeled, or more likely unlabeled, backup disks — Zip, CD, and floppy (3.5″ & 5.25″). Along with new work, I’m posting the small subset of old stuff that is either still relevant or at least entertaining, as I find it.
