Silicon Valley native, tech, artist, wonk, raconteur. I'll veer from topic to topic, and change stylistically on a whim. Curious about stuff and things.
UCD alum (PoliSci/IR & Tech Policy). Strong interests in the arts, actual political science, cliodynamics, systems theory, and seeking a bit of adventure at even the smallest scale.
I own more albums than you have had changes of underpants since birth.

My greatest professional accomplishment of the year: I got my exec & manager teammates saying "point positive," a term from whitewater rafting and kayaking.
Meaning: when facing hazards, point people toward where to go/what to do, rather than drawing attention to everything to avoid.
I saw the #Cloudflare EmDash release, and it looks cool, but it's not a #Wordpress killer...
Without a compelling case for migrating (I get the premise of plugin sandboxing is cool, but the fine print is that EmDash depends on Dynamic Workers to run secure sandboxed plugins, which are currently only available on paid accounts), going to a clone of WP on what seems to be just a way to try to drive paid CF accounts won't sweep a majority of WP sites any time soon.
"CEO said a thing!" #journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion."
This contributes significantly to the unhealthy hype cycle we're vertigo-ing in.
