Day job: US editorial director of consumer tech media sites. On BlueSky: personal takes and, yes, some shares from PCWorld, Macworld, Tech Advisor and TechHive.

Well, *this* has been a week. I was promoted to global editorial director of Foundry's consumer brands, IDG sold Foundry to Regent, and Regent just also bought TechCrunch. Positives come in threes? What's next?

I think social media is the source of many systemic problems, from political strife to low self esteem and attention deficit. But Bluesky *has* to be better than X and Facebook, right? Giving it a go. You know… for journalism.
