Free delivery: birth in the poorest country in the Americas, The Walrus, May 2008. I travelled to Haiti to write about a Médecins Sans Frontières maternity hospital, and the complicated problems of doing good in a nation often wracked by violence. |

In the Shadow of Doom, The Walrus, May 2006. An article about a killer lake in Central Africa. Yes, I said "killer lake." Read it now or wait for the inevitable disaster movie. |

Wiring the War Zone, Wired, September 2005. In May 2005, I spent a week in Iraq researching two cipherpunks who travelled there after the war to reconnect the country to the Internet, and wrote a 4,000-word article. In the end Wired only printed a small spinoff version. |
