Media Coverage
It has been an honor to interact
with the media around the world. Journalists are encouraged to e-mail
me questions and call +1-612-822-8667 if you are on deadline.
Along with traditional media
sources, select links to academic, newsletter, and online publications
are listed below. Most of my television and radio appearances are not listed.
Recent coverage can be found via a Google
news search.
Access to dozens of local
articles (most not listed below) from the Minneapolis
StarTribune and St.
Paul Pioneer Press are available from their paid archives.
As you can see I've fallen
behing on this page.
In May 2005, I was profiled
in Federal Computer Week. As I begin to post articles in my DoWire
Steven Clift's Notes blog, I'll tag my media appearances. For
now the Google
news search works quite well for recent stories.
