This fall we opened a small co-working space in Lisbon, and of course I had to write about it. Come visit us!
Create the space you wished existed
I referred to it as “the bunker”. My small office, a glorified closet, lacked windows, natural light and oxygen. I decorated with new lamps, fluffy pillows on the guest-bed, using what I could to make...

Okay, I'll admit it's a bit dramatic. But so was the experience.
Hiking Log: Drama in the Austrian Alps
As my iPhone wallpaper I have a small vision board for my year. Every time I pick up my phone, which is a lot if we're being honest here, I see it. Top right corner has a photo of me in full hiking ge...

A complete blackout for all of Portugal and Spain was not on my bingo card for 2025.
I guess it's time to become a prepper
At 11.30 yesterday, I had just come back from a quick workout and sat down with my breakfast. One piece of bread, two eggs, coffee. Ready to work. 11.34 I noticed the green light from my laptop charge...

I'm in my "experiment in public"-era and finally doing something with all the notes I've taken on project management and consultancy life throughout the years! The result is a weekly newsletter, Between Deadlines. First post out now!

An important follow up to his first post about how we're absolutely in the middle of a coup, @brockm.bsky.social explains how simply calling out the truth in the face of a bombardment of lies is critical. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/04/t...
To Stop The Coup, We Must Be Clear About The Truth: Two Plus Two Equals Four

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

Terrific take by @mmasnick.bsky.social — fair assessment and clear eyed. Meta has been bad at moderation (others have not btw) but Zuckerberg’s free speech blather is just a lame excuse for sloppy work: www.techdirt.com/2025/01/08/t...
The Good, The Bad, And The Stupid In Meta’s New Content Moderation Policies
When the NY Times declared in September that “Mark Zuckerberg is Done With Politics,” it was obvious this framing was utter nonsense. It was quite clear that Zuckerberg was in the proce…

I wrote about the most eligible bachelor in San Francisco's tech scene: a chatbot named Claude, who is helping AI insiders with everything from legal advice to relationship drama. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/t...
Why Anthropic’s Claude Is a Hit with Tech Insiders (Gift Article)
A.I. insiders are falling for Claude, a chatbot from Anthropic. Is it a passing fad, or a preview of artificial relationships to come?

Wrote about something that has been on my mind a lot lately.
