I wasn’t in the path of totality for today’s eclipse. Practical matters leave me less able to pick up for shared cultural experiences these days. Nevertheless I followed along thanks to the livestreams from NASA conveniently running on multiple social media platforms. It’s definitely not the same thing as experiencing an eclipse (I was lucky […]
I was really struggling yesterday so I didn’t expect to jump right onto a flow state today. I went into town to eat a hamburger. “You may not like it but eating a burger in the back of a casino in a strip mall in Montana while reading an economics lecture by Deidre McCloskey is […]
I am not feeling well today and used all the capacity I had to simply push at the edges of my universe and scream a bit into the abyss. Screaming into the abyss is my pet name for being on the internet. Mostly Twitter. I know it sounds stupid. Sometimes there are actual people on […]
“Do as I say not as I do” The value of an involved family versus the value of an independent life are not being well reconciled for middle aged millennials and their aging Boomers parents. And it seems to be the source of much hurt. Fantasies of a good family life that the elder generations […]

The era of shared media narratives with simplistic framing and consensus seems gone. The information sphere is now like glass shards with many distinct realities according to Axios. I think we have many more than twelve realities as class, politics, identity and material concerns overlap. The Internet has allowed all of us to develop esoteric […]
If you aren’t familiar with the term “parasocial” I’d encourage you to dive into the term and its impact on our culture. Parasocial interaction (PSI) refers to a kind of psychological relationship experienced by an audience in their mediated encounters with performers in the mass media, particularly on television and on online platforms. A parasocial interaction, an exposure that garners […]
The board needs to see that we are doing “something” and so management consultants have done a lot of paddling aggressively. Everyone is making money of artificial intelligence right? Well, wrong. My belief is that this is a result of not having adequate developer tools at the enterprise level so no processes are repeatable or […]
