Former journo for a site you might have read. W-Mass community evangelist, volunteer, and town representative. Holder of strong and sometimes retrospectively wrong opinions.

VP of US Vibes at a PR joint, but my career doesn’t define me.
Every step they make to bring the Android OS experience closer to the iOS experience is just another marketing point that better convinces customers to buy an iPhone in the first place instead.

Just the dumbest possible strategy these last few years.

Can’t wait to come back, but off to Tokyo for a couple days of vacation.

Ashamed to say, my first actual vacation since I took a week off after CES back in January — the simultaneous peril and passion of startup life

Gonna go against the grain here and say totally depends on the size of that flap. If it’s, like, M&M or smaller: nah.

"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."

Over and over I think back to that scene in The Matrix where Agent Smith said they designed The Matrix to look like the late 1990s because that was the height of human civilization and it seems more true every day.

That’s reprehensible, sorry you had to go through that. For the record, I’ve never restricted access to someone who shits on something. That’s a total violation of what journalism is for.
