Biography
Thom Dunn is a writer, musician, and utterly terrible dancer. He is currently a staff writer for the New York Times' Wirecutter and a blogger at BoingBoing, as well as the singer/guitarist of the Roland High Life. As a journalist and political commentator, Thom has appeared on several national and international radio programs discussing issues ranging from gun violence to climate change to the Irish language, and his writing has appeared on Upworthy, the Weather Channel, Vice, the Audible-exclusive Badlands podcast, and more. He is also a Huntington Playwriting Fellow, whose work has been commissioned by Cornell University and performed and read in cities from Boston to New York to Hollywood to Alaska. Thom's fiction, poetry, comic books, and essays have been published by Serial Pulp Magazine, Crossed Genres/Hidden Youth, Quirk Books, Tor.com, Asimov's, Grayhaven Comics, Ninth Art Press, and others. As a musician, Thom performs Irish folk music at pubs across the northeast; plays guitar and keyboards in Boston's premiere Taylor Swift cover band; and also records under his own name, in addition to his work with the Roland High Life. A graduate of Emerson College and the Clarion Writer’s Workshop at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, Thom enjoys mythophysics, robots and whiskey, and Oxford commas, and firmly believes that Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” is the single greatest atrocity ever committed against mankind. He lives in Boston with his wife and way too many weird stringed instruments. thomdunn.net

By Thom Dunn Verified| Boing Boing Verified The sous vide cooking process has been growing in popularity over the past decade. You can get a lot of wonderful flavors by slowly pressure cooking foods under water for a long period of time—especially since those foods are typically sealed in plastic or glass, preventing the juices from escaping and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
By Thom Dunn Verified| Boing Boing Verified "My name is Brinsley McNamara and welcome to Weird Island."That's the flat, almost unaffected introductory line to every short Instagram reel posted by the eponymous Brinsley McNamara since January 2024. In just over a year, he's gained hundreds of thousands of followers with his brief, matter-of-fact video missives exploring the strangest secrets of the Emerald Isle. And now, he's turned that viral sensation into a 200+ book called Weird Island: An Unofficial Guide To The Island.
