Hello, my name is MCM. I make TV shows (like RollBots or Shutterbugs) and books (like Typhoon or Fission Chips). I am also insane.

I do one or two things. Pick your angle below: SCREENWRITER... creator of a YTV series called RollBots, and writer of many episodes therein. Also co-creator and writer of the preschool series Shutterbugs. I create and develop properties that excite, entertain, and distress. WRITER... of books, including The Pig and the Box, which has been translated into a bunch of languages and has been praised by folks like Cory Doctorow and Richard Stallman. I'm also the inventor of livewriting, wherein you compose an entire novel in three days or less, live on the internet, using audience feedback to shape the story. Oh, and I'm the owner of 1889 Labs, which publishes books by some of the more deranged people on the planet. TECH CONSULTANT... using years of experience as a front-line programmer, I can help you figure out what's possible, what's likely, and what makes sense in technology. I am officially retired from typing code myself, but I am 100% up for bossing around programmers for you. I'm not scattered, I'm laser-focused on EVERYTHING.
