Yup. Here's a more complete list of his stuff, well, his short stories (not
just writings online).

Looking over the list, I want to say "Haircut" was excellent and I also
liked "I Can't Breathe." Also, "You Know Me, Al" is a long story which I
liked quite a lot. I didn't read all of his stuff, especially the longer
stories, because a lot of it is rather glib with a cute slapstick style
that I grew tired of.
