Finally getting around to doing an #introduction post.

I write a weekly column on tech for the WSJ and love being an involved dad and yes the dog in my profile pic is wearing a matching Steve Jobs-style turtleneck.

And oh, you think you're not responsible for the shutdown because you've been voting for the funding measures?

Wrong.

You're a Republican. You voted for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker. You caucus with the Republicans.

As long as you're part of the GOP, you're part of the problem.

40 years ago today: There was no third consecutive night hike yesterday, but I did not miss it by much.

Along the eastern edge, a string of about a dozen aging wooden cabins slumbered beneath giant pines of even greater antiquity along a gravel shore.

From an old wooden chair on my screened front porch, I watched loons drifting upon quiet waters fading into a deepening twilight. When darkness fell like a theatrical curtain ending the show, I lit a candle on an old table inside and began last night's journal entry.

After dinner, I lay back on my bunk and listened to the cries of the loons floating over the lake, accompanied by the mournful song

This week I wrote about what I think will be the unavoidability of using generative AI in both our work and, someday, personal lives.

For this simple reason: It really can make people more productive.

That creates a kind of communications arms race where the rest of us have to participate, or else risk drowning in the output of others.
