About Me

My dream job would have been Victorian Gentleman Inventor, but as a young man I messed this up by failing to be born wealthy in the 1800s.Instead I create books, games, and projects. The common pattern is finding simple rules that generate dappled outcomes.

Person Do Thing

I'm the designer and developer of the game Person Do Thing: players use a limited vocabulary of simple words (like Person, Do and Thing) to try to describe complicated ideas.You can play it online at PersonDoThing.com, or pre-order a physical deck at want.persondothing.com

The Browser

Since 2018 I've been the Publisher and CEO of TheBrowser.com, probably the internet's finest curation and recommendation newsletter.Every day we read hundreds of articles and recommend five outstanding stories for you to enjoy. Dexter Fillkins called us "an island of wonders, filled with treasure and surprise."

StoryHat

I'm the co-founder of StoryHat with the great Peter Hirsch, head writer of Arthur. We help companies develop clear and engaging narratives; if you'd like to sharpen your story please do get in touch.

Thinking Statistically

I composed a brief tome called Thinking Statistically, which tried to explain a few key concepts for great success in business, love and everyday life. It was named one of the 99 best business books ever in Josh Kaufman's popular bestseller The Personal MBA, and was later translated into Mandarin and Korean.

Other

I have done many other things eventually, the margins of this website being too narrow to contain.I was the original creator of DaysOld.com, surely the internet's premier destination for finding out how many days old you are.I wrote articles for WIRED about Georgism, for The Atlantic about Hiccups, and for The Economist about dating apps.I designed Nomido, a fun little letter puzzle.I am general factotum at the Clearer Thinking Podcast, the podcast about ideas that matter.I made a strange little art project called Book, which tries to embody an argument about how we interact with books.

Get In Touch

If you've read this far, you should get in touch! Genuinely, it's a weird thing about the internet how many words get thrown into the void without ending in any kind of human interaction. Send me a one-line email at [email protected] and I'll send you a thought just for you.

If you're getting in touch about book rights etc, my agent is Toby Mundy -- email him, you'll enjoy it.
