He is trying his hardest to regain the writer aspect. He has written for various publications in the past, including Giant Robot, Maximum Rock 'n' Roll, Punk Planet, the SF Bay Guardian, Clamor, several skateboarding magazines, some unfortunate zines (The Dogs not one of the "unfortunate" bunch), among others.
