David MacNeal is a Los Angeles-born journalist orbiting the fringes of science, technology and culture. As the black sheep to a family tree of engineers, the gravitation towards geekery came naturally. This has led him to shatter a tooth on a makeshift motorized bicycle, race down the Santa Monica Mountains in illegal soapbox derbies, and twerk in the streets with banana-clad ravers of the Decentralized Dance Party movement. His articles have since appeared in WIRED, Outside, ArsTechnica, 5280, Medium, and other publications. Aside from obsessing over comic books, he bakes exquisite pies (especially blueberry) and drinks an array of whiskey. Sometimes the glass contains bugs. He currently lives in Denver.
