Blog
I write about AI, the future of work, low-code/no-code, collaboration, communication, technology, and other topics. I pepper my posts with humor and pop-culture references. Oh, and I freakin’ despise jargon and weak writing. Since 2008, I’ve penned thousands of posts, more than 1,300 of which live on this site.
