For my second career I worked at consulting firms and agencies. I was a ‘digital strategist’. Companies were just trying to understand social media, really getting serious about their online presences, and were wondering how to move their communications and marketing (and more of their business) online. I got there at the time where just […]

21.2.2024 13:33So you want to be a product managerThe calendar made me stop. I had a lot of reading headwinds in 2023 — grad school’s not really book focused, full stack at work, and a new baby all were non-reading things to enjoy. But I did pretty good: Happy with this. Categories I purposefully read mostly fiction this year, and shied away from […]
4.1.2024 01:12I’m done reading for 2023A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION Computers are good at making decisions. Throw some criteria together, some weighting, put in some initial conditions and they’ll tell you what comes of all of it. Some decisions are really complicated for humans but really easy once you’ve […]
1.6.2023 15:54What are responsibility gaps?Lots of spoilers here if you haven’t watched Succession. I talk about the show’s ending, and how tragedies should end.

There’s something potentially bad going on, certainly something with 𝔈𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠𝔞𝔩 ℑ𝔪𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔠𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫𝔰, but how should we be talking about it? Is it a matter of the possibilities AI poses? Or is that too broad and giving AI too […]
29.5.2023 01:00Do we need smellovision ethics?In April, my pandemic was winding down (for the first time…) and I was ready to get back into the world. I started joining. A political group, a neighborhood group, an exercise group. I wanted to be around some new people. Some threw me in as one of the group right off the bat. Other […]
21.7.2021 13:20Building ethically proactive communitiesIt takes so much time to learn, but it’s worth it, right? You know, maybe not. I’m reading St. Augustine’s Confessions, and though it was written 1600 years ago, the way he was taught doesn’t sound all that different from today. (Less focus on STEM.) The way he describes how he learned, and why, is […]
22.6.2021 12:59Augustine’s Confessions, Book 1Good morning! I don’t like email. I generally don’t like having email addresses, I don’t like receiving emails, I don’t like having to check and reply to emails. An email in the inbox could mean anything from nothing to multiple conversations of coordination and followup between multiple people. And they just stack up. The tone […]
7.3.2021 14:48My goal is to get zero emailsI made a list of the books I most often recommend, re-read and reminisce on. Making the list was fun. I want to put down all the books I’m reading now and dig back in to a few of these. Seeing it all laid out is also itchy and uncomfortable, in that I feel like […]
