cell stories turns one year old

By David Miller | Published: September 1, 2010

Cell stories turned one year old today. They published one of my stories, Los Pitayeros last fall. I think it was the only story I’ve published where afterward I couldn’t read it (didn’t / don’t have a droid / iphone).

By David Miller | Published: August 30, 2010

snowboarding with layla

By David Miller | Published: August 2, 2010

I’ve sort of dreamed about this moment. Getting Layla on the board for the first time. But then when we were actually up at Perito Moreno I seemed to forget I’d thought about it before and we were just hiking up this service road. I took the board just in case we reached the top [...]
