“Eventually, I decided that I was going
to have to go straight,” he said.

He became a loan offi cer, and became
a bank vice president somewhere along
the way. Career #2 in LA was a fun one,
but a short economic downturn in the
mid-90s had him looking for career #3.

He ran into an old friend from Far Out,
who asked him if he knew anything
about building websites. Yes, he said.

Great, she answered. Harry Shearer
needs someone to build one for him.

And so Wilen became a web developer,
designing sites for Shearer, the fi ctional
band Spinal Tap and the Milken fam-
ily, among others. Th is work also led
him back to journalism, landing him
briefl y at the Jewish Journal and Patch
Brentwood, where a spat with new owner
Arianna Huffi ngton (partially involving a
fl ap over a controversial cartoon) had him
back out on his own.

Today, Wilen still does web devel-
opment and oversees a few blogs. He’s
writing regularly, and maintains an active
Twitter presence.

“I’m still politically active and liberal,
I’m still a Zionist,” he said. “I’m still a
tikkun olam kind of guy.” ●
