Excited to announce that I will be presenting "A Standard For Investigative Playbooks" at BSidesROC next month - always look forward to visiting the Flower City for garbage plates and hacker shenanigans.

On my way to SFO for the Pragmatic Summit. I’m super excited to be running a breakout session tomorrow “Compressing Time and Expertise with AI in Public Sector Systems” during the 1:30 time slot. See you all there

It’s not a viable market product in a market where big tech platforms control distribution and tip the scales towards an endless supply of teenagers working free. Every media company should be chasing the open social web to break that control wide open and reshape the market

High-quality journalism is not a viable market product. If you want consistent high-quality journalism, you need some kind of subsidy. ANY billionaire could set up the WaPo as a high-quality journalism outlet, accept that it's not going to make money, & simply subsidize it. Nothing stopping them.

I did not create this memecoin nor do I endorse any memecoins. This technology is being used to automate pump and dump schemes. The "community" is recruiting "investors" and co-conspirators with upfront payments and the promise of future gains by collectively exploiting each other.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

The nerdiest but honest way to explain iPhone events in 2025: This is how Apple plans to squeeze 1% to 2% incremental growth from a smartphone market that stopped growing years ago. The company is a genius at making money from this kind of dull thinking.
