Welcome to my website! My name is Michael J. Smith and I am a writer/editor living and working in the northern Virginia area.

I currently work on technical documentation for a large government contractor. I’ve also worked as a journalist for several different media outlets over the last eight years, including the website for one of the largest newspapers in the country, The Washington Post.

I have a variety of interests including sports, movies/tv, music, radio controlled cars (1/10 scale, on-road, electric cars only at this point), video games, comics, and drawing (though I haven’t had time to do it in quite a while). You’ll find that most of my writings reflect these interests.

You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and MySpace, assuming anyone actually uses MySpace anymore.

The opinions expressed on this website are mine and mine alone. They do not reflect the positions of my employers, past or present. So please do not attempt to associate any of my ramblings with them.

Feel free to drop me a line with your questions at mike@mikejsmith.net. You can also use the comment form at the bottom of each posting to share your feedback.
