It never ceases to amaze me how events seem to conspire against you until you can see they were conspiring for you all along. Hate to be cryptic, but that will do for now.
Suffice it to say I can’t believe it’s been months since I’ve seen Adriana, considering that we used to spend 25 hours […]

I’ve been a big fan of these legends for years, so I’m thrilled to speak at their Blended Reality event in San Francisco this week. (I was asked after the research director of the IFTF’s Technology Horizons program, David Pescovitz - also a BoingBoing and Make magazine co-editor - saw me present at the WebbyConnect […]

The sentimentality and emotion last night was unlike anything I’ve seen since Princess Diana’s funeral. That said, I love America (the country, not the political system) a little bit more today, as this truly is a land of great opportunity. There was no candidate in this election for a person like me, so I’m trying […]

I’m with Ben on this. In the right circumstances, eating alone a real pleasure.
When I was younger, I never thought I’d ever be able to dine by myself in public. In my early 20s, as I lucked into work that demanded I travel extensively and often alone, I was left with little choice. Turned […]
