Boutin writes regularly for the "New York Times", "Slate", and "Valleywag", and does book reviews for the "Wall Street Journal".

His work has also appeared in "The New Republic", MSNBC, "Reader's Digest", Engadget, Salon.com, "Outside", "Cargo", "Business 2.0", the "Independent Film & Video Monthly", "InfoWorld" and "PC World".
