I’ve become something of a fan of the short briefs that CityPaper, a popular alternative-weekly newspaper in Philadelphia, features. Called “Million Little Stories,” they are actually well-written and worth the investment of time, a step away from the dry briefs with which most newspapers fill space. I have one in this week’s paper — third [...]

Earlier this week, I launched the first profit-end of a business in my entire life — assuming the tax-status gray area of cutting hair and writing term papers for friends doesn’t count. Technically Philly, a news site covering technology and innovation in Philadelphia that I launched with two friends, began soliciting advertising, the first in [...]

Register to attend! I’m heading to the national BarCamp for NewsInnovation at Temple University in Philadelphia. If you’re in the region, why don’t you stop on by, it runs all day to 5 p.m. and should prove interesting. I also wrote an impassioned plea about this for uwishunu. Number of Views:138

Not long ago I celebrated the one-year anniversary of ChristopherWink.com. Well, really, I think we all celebrated that fine day. This is the 500th post I’ve done here, some much better than others. Today, why not cue up the video montage and look at the way we were. Number of Views:134

Tomorrow I’ll be in D.C. to cover the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama on Tuesday. It seems it’s all anyone is talking about in a way no inaguration in my short life – even the first inauguration of Bill Clinton, another young Washington outsider popular with young people. Folks in D.C. are already complaining of [...]

This is where I will post any potential biases or conflicts of interest. I do not feel the below work or relationships cloud my ethics as a journalist, but transparency is of the utmost importance. If you have any questions or comments, contact me here. To see a more complete list of my work and [...]

I never was a runner. I played basketball in high school, something with which I’ve kept up a bit. I wasn’t a runner. Still, I am – fairly early on – throwing my hat in on this year’s Broad Street Run, the busiest 10-mile run in the country, to be held this year on May [...]

Talk to me in a few weeks. I ought to be some sort of expert on the global energy industry. Largely on the back of my internship with the Philadelphia Business Journal and my blogging experience in a variety of venues, I am proud to say that I’ve gotten a gig blogging on the energy [...]
