CONSTANT PARTIAL ATTENTION

Hey there I'm MDT, currently occupying the right now and tryin' to make it to the not yet. Louisiana born, proud resident of our nation's capital - this is the product of my constant partial attention.

Other stuff I get up to:

Small Press Expo

I am the director for digital strategy for the nation's premier independent cartooning and comic arts festival.



Neighborhoodr, DC

I'm a content editor over at Neighborhoodr's DC joint. Come pay us a visit. Doing something cool in town? Let me know!



The Daily Caveat

If you're into the whole white collar crime investigation thing you might enjoy this continuing ode to my old line of work.



Community in Practice

Keeping those new media skills sharp with interesting articles, resources and commentary focusing on social communication and digital marketing strategy.



Louisiana Lowdown

Tales of disunion, corruption and incompetence. In other words, a love letter to my home state.


Real True Sound

I highly suggest you check out our group music tumblage. Telling you what you want to hear since 2009.



Fantastronauts

Spacesuits are awesome. Try and deny it. You will find many here.



Small People for Big Change

Documenting stories of citizen action on behalf of environmental conservation, wildlife preservation and habitat restoration. We're all small until we start working together.



I Like Watches

Maybe you do too?



HIRE MDT

I've been known to develop award-winning online resources that are used by millions every year. I've also directed highly successful online outreach campaigns. I'd love to help you do the same. Please do get in touch to receive credentials and recent work samples.

Interviewed Nikita Krushchev… Was drugged for his trouble by the KGB… Covered the building of the Berlin Wall… Was on Nixon’s “Enemies” list (number 17)… Won Emmys in 1972, 1973 and 1974 for his coverage of Watergate. Exposed secret CIA assassinations during the Ford administration… Was the first on-camera employee hired by CNN… And has been the Senior News Analyst at NPR since 1985… Schorr was also an avid Tweeter and Frank Zappa fan… Of his reporting method, which has covered every President since Dwight Eisenhower, Schorr once commented, “My typical way of operating is not to stick a camera and a microphone in somebody’s face and let him say whatever self-serving thing he wants to say, but to spend a certain amount of time getting the basic information, as though I was going to write a newspaper story…. [I] may end up putting a mike in somebody’s face, but it is usually for the final and hopefully embarrassing question.” Schorr died on today at a Washington, D.C. hospital. He was 93 years old. There are too few folks like this left.
