"What makes you think a writer isn't a salesman?" —Kurt Vonnegut
McSweeney's was the perfect home for this list parodying the many, many articles blaming millennials for the death of capitalism.
LIKEYOUSAID was a music blog on the edge, allowing me to compile my wildest thoughts about the world of music
What I was thinking
The list isn't always just a click driver. It's also a pretty great avenue of creative expression. The two links above are examples of lists I have come up with all on my own, both to satirize and to admire the world around us.

What you need
I also do a mean commission. When a company comes to me with an idea they need done well on a deadline, I dive in head first. A great list needs a steady mix of known and new information to keep the reader satisfied and interested, and that requires a writer who knows his material. They say no one can know everything about everything, but I think that with enough time I could get pretty close. I relish the opportunity to learn about new subjects or to dive deeper into fields I am already familiar with. Let's make your ideas into reality today.
