Welcome to my creative outlet. A place to share ephemera I’ve collected online and offline,
along with some writing.
The photo above was taken from an IBM presentation in 1979, and yet it is more relevant than ever.
With the advances of AI, it feels like the entire tech industry (and everyone on LinkedIn) believes that it can solve any problem, and any pushback will be solved with the next release.
How can we use technology like AI well, without losing human agency and accountability, especially in situations where lives can be significantly impacted (healthcare, transportation and more)?
You have to be happy in those quiet moments when you remember that you are alive; not in those noisy moments when you forget.
GK Chesterton
I have always loved riding a bike, there is something about the freedom of getting anywhere quickly, without being in a vehicle.
This was my favorite bike – a white and purple fixie that was so much fun, and so impractical. Sadly it’s been sold, but the memory remains.
However formidably automatic the machine may look, there is always a man lurking in the background, adjusting it, correcting it, nursing it; and the machine itself is half slave, half god.

I like to collect photos of random signs that I’ve seen around the world. Though crude, this sign is probably more true each day.
Taking a break from news this lent has made me realize how much my media consumption was consuming my mental capacity, and probably increasing my anxiety too.
