ai hype cycle fatigue
I think I’m going to chronicle the next six months of AI stories on a weekly basis, because some of my fears about repeating the mistakes we made with the blockchain are full speed ahead. Here’s three headlines that have some older cousins of their own that turned out to be….not so great. I have…

a second act for linkedin?
I’ve been testing a bunch of new AI products over the past month for work and play. My favorite at the moment is the WordPress MCP, which allows me write this post end-to-end from Claude. It wouldn’t be possible to write anymore about how much better publishing is without repeating myself, which I’ve already done.…

WordPress and MCP Usher in the Next Era of Blogging
A regular cadence of blogging’s been tough for me over the last few years. I’m always inspired by writers like Matt, Mike, and Seth but it’s hard to sit down and focus when Encanto is on repeat, client work needs to get done, and house chores are house choring. But LLMs and Anthropic’s MCP (model…

A Collab with Google Colab
I spent a few minutes on Bluesky yesterday (whose feed is becoming better and better by the day) and saw this post by @luokai. If you’re a data analyst or need to know enough about data to dabble in it, you might have played with Colab before. The difference here is how much easier it…

A Second Golden Age of Blogging
I’ll have a longer post about this, but we’re publicly stating LLMs and their apps should be used in all the wrong ways for all the wrong reasons. The media hype is around search, image generation, and video generation, but all of those things pale in comparison to the utility they open up. This blog…

Launched: My First Chrome Extension
My first Chrome extension is approved and live in the app store! It’s a simple Feedly article highlighter, creatively titled “Feedly Article Highlighter created for your Chrome desktop browser. I made this because I read a lot. This is back of napkin, but I’m estimating ~200 blogs and media feeds are plugged into my RSS…

Manifesting 2025
I’ve already read too many “prediction” 2025 posts and we’re about to go into uncharted territory globally, so writing one doesn’t even make sense. I also had a chuckle at Ben Werdmuller’s personal 2025 OKR’s post intro about “This may be the most LinkedIn idea ever, but…” I’ve never met Ben outside of online circles,…

A List of Software I’m Testing Before 2023
We’re near the end of the year and it’s looking a lot lke the Web3 hype is overblown. But that conversation’s sucked so much of the air out of the room, that category-shifting products are being built without any acclaim outside of the occasional Product Hunt feature. In the rarest moments of spare time, I…

Creeping Normality Comes for The NBA
The most unsettling part of a culture of no accountability in 2022 America – across business, politics, and most recently sports – is how swiftly it drags the Overton window even further from what’s acceptable. It feels like thirty years ago (it was eight) when Donald Sterling, multibillion owner of the Clippers, was forced into…

A Creative Revolution
As Web 3.0 continues to be pushed by more people with little knowledge about the technologies, I’m excited to report roses growing in a bed of weeds. Notion, WordPress, Google (Workspace), Bytedance (Lark), Slack (as productivity tools live in-line) are finally building toward open standards of creation, which – unlike a technology designed to isolate…
