He is also writer and artist of Lessons for Children, a weekly web comic.
Verhoeven is an active and popular Twitter user; as of April 2012 he is the 77th most popular Australian journalist using the social media platform.

He has been a regular contributor for Yen Magazine, a gaming reviewer and film critic for The Vine, and has written for Filmink magazine and Horse and Hound.
He has interviewed Elmo and Abby Cadabby. On stage, he has interviewed Viggo Mortensen, Philippe Petit, Dylan Moran and Ryan Johnson.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“It is ultimately in employers’ best interests to have their employees’ families functioning smoothly. In the long run, children who misbehave because they are inadequately supervised or marital partners who disapprove of their spouse’s work situation are productivity problems. Just as work affects parents and children, parents and children affect the workplace by influencing the employed parents’ morale, absenteeism, and productivity.”
—Ann C. Crouter (20th century)
