Well, to be honest, I'm too shy to actually write anything by myself. The arrangement usually is that I will do a lot of research with my hero, Matt Larson, and we will co-author a paper. The stuff I write is usually pretty geeky, focusing on an aspect of computer networking called "DNS"

To be honest, Ken Silva and Frank Scalzo did the cool writing and presenting. My role is that I did a lot of the data collection in support of the paper. (I didn't deserve to be a co-author, but I'll list it here anyway).
RFC 4697 (BCP 123)
Observed DNS Resolution Misbehavior
This documents a small portion of the silly things that we have observed on the root name servers, and the name servers that serve .COM and .NET. In this document, we make recommendations to DNS software authors, a few strategies that will prevent DNS storms being sent to the root servers.
