About Lex Friedman and Lex, Briefly
While I tremendously enjoy writing for Macworld and TidBITS,
I occasionally have thoughts about Apple, other technology, entertainment, politics, world events,
and of course myself which seem to make more sense to discuss here on my personal site instead.
I use Coda and BBEdit.
Feel free to read my unnecessarily detailed biography, but here are the key salient points.
I live in New Jersey with my wife and three kids. I contribute very frequently to Macworld and TidBITS. I'm also the Senior Director of Product & Community for Demand Media.
I work from home, using a treadmill desk. I believe that I am halfway decent at many things, but I work hardest at being a good dad.
Site history
I began blogging ("The Lex Files") in September 2001 with Blogger. In 2002, I moved the site to a blogging platform of my own creation. In January 2009, I moved to Tumblr. In January 2011, Tumblr's too-consistent downtime outweighed its other advantages, and I wrote a new blogging engine to drive this site.I use Coda and BBEdit.
