After editing the multi-AAN-award-winner for nine years (first as managing editor and then as executive editor), the resulting bare shell of a man decided to launch himself into the heady world of freelance writing and webzine creation. He spent several years writing numerous fluffy articles (which were consequently made even fluffier) for Time Inc. publications, while also starting up PopCultMag.com (which he really should have made into a blog, like his pal had suggested before blogs were big, and thus become a millionaire in the process… oh well... now he's too busy to update the poor site). He later entered the corporate web-slinging worlds of CNET, Comcast's G4 cable network (yes, he worked on &lt;em&gt;Attack of the Show!&lt;/em&gt; with geek pride), and HGTV.com, where he learned more about kitchen remodeling trends than most humans should be permitted to know. Now, he has returned to &lt;em&gt;Metro Pulse&lt;/em&gt;, back where he started. It's the circle of life!</description><language>en-us</language><item><title>Boxie Pets by Rachel Travis</title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/nov/24/boxie-pets-rachel-travis/</link><description>Boxie Pets by Rachel Travis</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Nov 2010 16:20:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/nov/24/boxie-pets-rachel-travis/</guid></item><item><title>Best Book Store: McKay Used Books, CDs, Movies &amp;amp; More</title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-book-store-mckay-used-books-cds-movies-more/</link><description>Best Book Store: McKay Used Books, CDs, Movies &amp;amp; More</description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-book-store-mckay-used-books-cds-movies-more/</guid></item><item><title>Best Chef: Bruce Bogartz  </title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-chef-bruce-bogartz/</link><description>Best Chef: Bruce Bogartz  </description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-chef-bruce-bogartz/</guid></item><item><title>Best Italian: Naples Italian Restaurant </title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-italian-naples-italian-restaurant/</link><description>Best Italian: Naples Italian Restaurant </description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-italian-naples-italian-restaurant/</guid></item><item><title>Best Store We Wish Was From Knoxville: Mast General Store </title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-store-we-wish-was-knoxville-mast-general-stor/</link><description>Best Store We Wish Was From Knoxville: Mast General Store </description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-store-we-wish-was-knoxville-mast-general-stor/</guid></item><item><title> Best Sushi: Nama</title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-sushi-nama/</link><description> Best Sushi: Nama</description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-sushi-nama/</guid></item><item><title>Best Local Website: Metropulse.com</title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-local-website-metropulsecom/</link><description>Best Local Website: Metropulse.com</description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-local-website-metropulsecom/</guid></item><item><title>Best Bakery: Magpies  </title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-bakery-magpies/</link><description>Best Bakery: Magpies  </description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-bakery-magpies/</guid></item><item><title>Best Ribs: Calhoun’s </title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-ribs-calhouns/</link><description>Best Ribs: Calhoun’s </description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-ribs-calhouns/</guid></item><item><title>Best Yoga Studio: The Glowing Body</title><link>http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-yoga-studio-glowing-body/</link><description>Best Yoga Studio: The Glowing Body</description><pubDate>Wed, 12 May 2010 21:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/may/12/best-yoga-studio-glowing-body/</guid></item></channel></rss>
