If you’re new to my writing, here’s the full list of essays that live on this blog. (You might know me from Twitter, where I tend to speak more in aphorisms.)

My essays are a mix of theories, examinations, and empirical ideas about people, the world, and where things are headed— circling around the worlds of technology, startups, health, media, art, & creativity.

I’ve been writing for 10+ years — mostly op-eds and essays and some short fiction. These days I’m spending more time on even longer-form projects too (note: if I take a hiatus here, I pause paid subs).

Say hello if there’s something we should work on together.
