Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Interviewing a restaurant owner in Lithuania for his advice on the best restaurants to visit (apart from his own!)

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, I own one.

Why did you become a journalist?

I love to write, I have an insatiable curiosity, and research is my middle name (not really).

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

I love reading Wired, the New York Times, and Ars Technica.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That we can't keep a secret. I'm excellent at keeping something to myself, if asked to.
